Episode 24: Nadya Okamoto, on Building the Menstrual Movement

Too often, shame, stigma and misinformation around periods may discourage girls from attending school and reaching their full potential. This week's guest, PERIOD founder Nadya Okamoto, is fighting for a world where all menstruators are able to manage their periods with dignity and confidence. Ahead of Day of the Girl, she talks to us about her personal journey and how all of us can speak out on this issue.
