This week we look at some of the barriers to girl's equal access to education and family planning. Joining Lily is an inspirational young activist from the UK. Outraged by the idea that one in ten girls were missing out on their education due to 'Period Poverty', at the age of 17, Amika George started the #freePeriods Campaign. An activist, a change maker and author of 'Make it Happen', it's no surprise that she was named as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in the social impact category this year! We also hear from Douce Namwezi N'ibmba in Central Africa who is helping educate women on family planning and making menstrual products accessible for women in East Africa through her work with Uwezo Africa.  Useful Links  Amika George: Make it Happen - https://www.waterstones.com/book/make-it-happen/amika-george/9780008377601 Douce Namwezi N'ibmba- Organisation Uwezo Africa - https://uwezoafrika.org What If We Get It Right? hosts social impact entrepreneurs from around the globe.

When we think of people who have made a huge impact to the world, we often think of adults. But young people can - and often do - make a serious impact on the world. Greta Thunberg got worldwide attention with more than 2 million children following her footsteps at 15. She has appeared in Times magazine as person of the year and has motivated young people and even governments to take action to save the planet. Malala Yousafzai is a passionate advocate for women's right to education and is the youngest person in the world to receive the Nobel peace prize. Louis Braille, Geetanjali Rao, Marley Dias, Amika George have all made a huge positive change to the world. These are all common people who have achieved extra ordinary things because they were working on something they were passionate about and they were persistent.

Amika is an activist, author and icon who is literally dripping in awards.

Last year she published her first book Make It Happen: How To Be An Activist- isn't she the coolest?! Amika studied history at Cambridge University and Floss couldn't be in better company to answer your questions on feminism.

Amika George - Make it Happen... with TRE's Hannah Murray

Buenas buenas históricos, antes de cerrar el año traemos a una joven increíble. Te presentamos a Amika George, una activista que a sus 17 años logró algo histórico en su país dentro de la salud. No te quedes con la info a medias y enterate el resto en este episodio. ¡Que lo disfrutes! Seguinos en instagram: @historica_mentepodcast

In the continuing fight for women's rights, who is responsible for change, and who should stand up and make a difference today? Amika George is the Founder of #FreePeriods, a global campaign to end period poverty, which she started at the age of 17. Her campaign successfully persuaded the UK government to pledge funds to provide free menstrual products in all English schools and colleges in 2017. More recently she wrote her first book, Make it Happen: How to Be an Activist. In the final episode of this series, Amika joins British Library Curator Polly Russell to discuss the anatomy of activism – explaining her journey, and giving thoughts on how women can continue to organise and made their voices heard. They hear from key campaigners including Rachel Grocott from Bloody Good Period, LGBTIQA+ activist Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin from Voices 4 London, Natasha Walter from Women for Refugee Women, and Isabel Cortes from United Voices of the World. Unfinished Business podcast series is generously supported by Joanna and Graham Barker and The Eccles Centre for American Studies.

Periods are one of the many taboo subjects rarely covered in traditional African and South Asian cultures - Amika George talks about the outdated myths and superstitions surrounding the impurity of a girl who's menstruating - whether it's the prohibited entry into temples or the more extreme banishment into designated huts in rural communities in Africa and South Asia. Menopause is talked about even less, but as women, we will all go through it. We want to talk about why it's such a taboo, and how the cultural taboos contribute to period poverty both in the UK and the wider world.We are joined by Vice UK's executive editor and author Zing Tsjeng, and founder of Menopause Whilst Black, Karen Arthur, to unwrap cultural taboos about female menstrual health.Unpretty Podcast https://www.instagram.com/unprettypodcast/ https://twitter.com/unprettypodcast Karen Arthur https://www.instagram.com/thekarenarthur/ https://www.instagram.com/menopausewhilstblack/ https://twitter.com/thekarenarthur Zing Tsjeng https://www.instagram.com/miss_zing/https://twitter.com/misszing United Zingdom Podcast: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0863v08/episodes/downloads Menstruation ReadingVice: Zing Tsjeng's period poverty documentary https://www.vice.com/en/article/qv4z7m/the-activists-making-sure-kids-dont-miss-school-because-of-their-periods Galdem: We Need to Talk About Periods More https://gal-dem.com/period-organic-company/ Women's Health: Why Are Tampons Taboo in Some Communities of Colour? https://www.womenshealthmag.com/uk/health/a33403057/tampons-bame-communities/ ELLE UK: Rupi Kaur And Amika George talk period shame https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a27507537/rupi-kaur-and-amika-george-two-teen-icons-taking-on-the-world/ Two Twos Podcast: 'I didn't think Trans Men had periods' with Kenny Ethan Jones https://open.spotify.com/episode/29rdqnzR6sNt5hhyBQ1l7X?si=u4X2Ilg1TqiH9R4sh0yjBAMenopause ReadingBritish Vogue: Karen Arthur Interview: https://www.vogue.co.uk/beauty/article/karen-arthur-interview New York Times Menopause Stories: https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000007490980/menopause-stories.html Black Girls Guide to Surviving Menopause: https://blackgirlsguidetosurvivingmenopause.com Black Ballad: Why Black Women Should Be Talking About Menopause Earlier: https://blackballad.co.uk/views-voices/black-women-and-menopause *Stop Asian Hate Reading and Resources*British Vogue: Asian Women’s Bodies Are Not Playgrounds For White People by Zing Tsjeng: https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/atlanta-shootings-racism Grazia: Susie Lau on the importance of the Stop Asian Hate Campaign: https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-news/stop-asian-hate-campaign-movement-susie-lau/ Refinery29: The Stark Reality Of Racism For East and South East Asian Women In The UK: https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/asian-women-hate-racism-uk Besea.n: A grassroots movement shining a light on the experiences of British East and South East Asians https://www.besean.co.uk/ , https://www.instagram.com/besea.n/ End the Virus of Racism: Ethnic Disparities and Inequality in the UK among ESEA communities https://www.endthevirusofracism.com/inequalities-report See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode I am speaking to Molly Fenton founder of Love Your period.  After coming across the work of Amika George, campaigning for ‘Free Periods' in England, Molly started talking to people around her about period poverty and stigma- something she had never thought about before. People called the topics ‘inappropriate' and ‘disgusting'. Molly couldn't sit back and let this happen. She started a social media movement to aid everyone to help love periods, called the Love Your Period Campaign! Today the campaign has 5000 followers across social media pages and is nationally recognised. Molly is pioneering change with her petition asking the UK government to make it a requirement for period care manufacturers to list ingredients on product boxes.  We talk all things periods! Breaking the stigma and the power of campaigning for what you believe in. I hope you enjoy :)  The petition: http://chng.it/xvJ5Ygscg5 Love your Period: https://www.instagram.com/loveyourperiod/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/doyourthingpodcast/support

Hello! What if government promised a job to anyone who needed one at any time? That’s the principle behind an idea gaining traction in the US: the universal jobs guarantee. Economic historian Lord Robert Skidelsky explains how governments have approached full employment in the past and why a jobs guarantee is now the best way to achieve it. Then US expert Pavlina Tcherneva talks about how the policy could work in practice.ANDWe talk to period poverty activist Amika George. Amika tells us about setting up the Free Periods campaign, how they achieved a shift in government policy, and where it goes next. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Presenter Isy Suttie talks to the amazing Amika George about how setting up FreePeriods.org is preventing young girls missing school, and how she wants more boys and men to talk freely about periods – so this is definitely not just a podcast for girls! When Amika found out girls were skipping lessons because of their periods she had to act, and created an online petition demanding the government give free menstrual products to all girls on free school meals – creating the hashtag FreePeriods. Her online campaign has attracted over 275,000 signatures, created a media storm and led to the government committing funding to tackle the issue. This is how Amika changed her world… #ChangeYourWorld

Amika George is a 19 year old student, activist, and founder of #FreePeriods. She's been campaigning to combat period poverty in schools. 200,000 signed her petition and almost 2,000 teenagers protested outside Downing Street. Two years on, the government has pledged to end period poverty by offering free menstrual products in all English primary and secondary schools by 2020. Amika George says "I’m so thrilled to be a guest editor of Woman’s Hour'. Her chosen topics range from access and diversity in higher education, to why young people are so fascinated by Love Island, to why grime and hip hop artists have more power to influence young people than MPs. Access, diversions and inclusion in higher education for BAME and state school students. What's the nature and extent of the problem and what needs to be done about it? We talk to Ore Ogunbiyi, one of the authors of 'Taking up Space' and Laura Bruce, Head of Programmes at the Sutton Trust. What's the appeal of Love Island?

Thank God for Gen Z. They truly care about wanting to make the world better. When I first met Amika a few years ago, she wasn't old enough to vote, yet she was on a mission to change government policies to fight period poverty with her Free Periods movement. And she still is.   Our theme for July is YOUTH, and Amika was at the top of the list of people I wanted to get on Gurls Talk. She embodies how the youth are driving change and how politics isn't just Westminster, it's standing up for what you believe in. We talk about the generation gap within politics, how we can all help end period taboos by being more open about them and educating boys about them. We talk about how we all have similar stories of bleeding on a bed or through our pants. How we've been conditioned to believe that periods are embarrassing, to be spoken about in hushed tones, and to sneak a tampon up our sleeves before we head to the loo.   So, take a listen to feel period-liberated, inspired and empowered to “be the change you want to see in the world” – as Gandhi said. And as always, mad, mad love.   Find out more about Free Periods and join the movement here: https://www.freeperiods.org   Do you know that period-proof underwear is a thing? It means you can ditch buying tampons and pads every month. https://www.shethinx.com   And we love that brands are making things like this: Viva La Vulva! https://www.bodyform.co.uk/products/yours-is-the-only-perfect-vulva/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuKGz7ISb4wIVSr3ACh0-4wmZEAAYASAAEgK1hfD_BwE   Please send any messages to www.gurlstalk.com and you can follow us on Instagram @GurlsTalk.

FTFO about Periods - supported by Bloody Good Period Freaking the F*ck Out is a podcast where Kelsey Bennett and Maddy Scott examine the inner workings of their anxious minds.  Covering everything from the minute to the very big and life changing, they’re not mental health professionals but they do happen to have some experience in the field. Periods! No, don't switch off! They're interesting. And annoying. And mysterious.  In this episode, the chat is all about 'that time of the month' - the science and the stigma. There is also a slightly surreal Q&A at the end, from menfolk who have questions and aren't afraid to ask them (and mask them with humour).   We're thrilled that this episode is supported by Bloody Good Period - a fantastic company who take donations and supply them to asylum seeker drop-in centres and food banks in London and the UK.  They work to alleviate period poverty and open up the conversation around menstruation to all and bloody sundry!

Ask women what the bane of their lives is and most of them will say PERIODS. Every month we welcome a stream of blood from our genitals reminding us that we're able to reproduce, but my oh my are there problems along the way. I chat to Amika George about her Free Periods campaign, Katy Johnson describes the pain of suffering with endometriosis and as voted by you on a poll on Twitter, I try a mooncup, lol. Maybe don't listen while you're eating your breakfast... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Amika George and Grace Campbell  join Scarlett Curtis in this episode of Feminists Don’t Wear Pink (and other lies) to break the myth of the female wank and discuss the horror of period poverty.
