Period poverty has a huge impact on women, girls and people who menstruate all over the world. Too many people don't have access to menstrual products, safe, hygienic spaces in which to use them. This isn't just a potential health risk - it can also affect their education, well-being, and sometimes their entire lives.One in 10 girls in Africa miss school because they don't have access to menstrual products, or because there aren't safe, private toilets to use at school. In India, approximately 12 percent of its 355 million menstruating people cannot afford menstrual products. In the US 23% of college students can't afford to buy period products. Thankfully, brilliant, passionate people like Chelsea Von Chaz, the founder of Happy Period are working to end period Poverty. Happy Periods distributes free period products to support 100,000 periods a year, through over 40 cities in the US. We explore:Why period products should be provided for free in all public bathrooms, just like toilet paper or soap, and especially in schools.The long term effects of period poverty for women, girls and people with periods, and how this is amplified for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour as well as other marginalised people such as the LGBTQ+ community. How we can all contribute to the movement to end period poverty and create menstrual equity, through education, improving access to period products, and advocacy for marginalised groups in need. ---Registration is open for our 2022 Menstruality Leadership Programme.

Disclaimer: This episode heavily features conversation on a natural bodily function that may make some listeners uncomfortable. If a woman’s period makes you uncomfortable and you wish to remain uncomfortable, this episode may not be for you. But if you want to become comfortable and educated on the subject of menstruation, Aalia, Alex and this episode’s guest, creator of HashtagHappyPeriod.org, Chelsea VonChaz(@chelseavonchaz) have got you covered. The women set out to destigmatize periods with conversations on menstrual education(12:25), sustainable menstruation products and potential solutions for homeless women(26:45), and tampons for the youth(29:30). As always, there’s rapid fire questions for this episode’s guest, Chelsea(37:50), and there’s even ghost talk(39:20)!

In 2015, Chelsea VonChaz was out in town with her mother when the two witnessed something that broke their hearts -- they saw a homeless woman crossing the street while wearing blood stained undergarments. After some research, Chelsea learned that pads and tampons are rarely donated items and are not even required to be included in any shelter's operations budget. Chelsea and her mom knew they wanted to help so they gathered some friends and got to work -- and hashtag Happy Period was born.

The inspiring Chelsea VonChaz joins us this week to share how she founded #HappyPeriod, an organization that helps homeless women by supplying period products.   Find Chelsea: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chelseavonchaz/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/MadameMenarche   Join the Movement: https://hashtaghappyperiod.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearehappyperiod Twitter: https://twitter.com/HappyPeriodOrg   Follow Us: Instagram: www.instagram.com/candicekayla/  Twitter: www.twitter.com/CandiceKayla  Website: www.candicekayla.com
