In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with writer, activist, and feminist Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, a leading voice in the fight for menstrual equity. Dubbed the “architect of the U.S. policy campaign to squash the tampon tax,” Jennifer is the author of Periods Gone Public and serves as VP at the Brennan Center for Justice. Her groundbreaking work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, Cosmopolitan, MSNBC, and more. Together, they dive into how a local donation drive sparked Jennifer's national policy work, the cultural stigma surrounding menstruation, and the rise of the menstrual equity movement since 2015. They also unpack the critical need for accurate menopause education, public policy reform, and the long-lasting impact of the Women's Health Initiative's flawed messaging on hormone therapy. This conversation challenges outdated taboos and explores how both menstruation and menopause can serve as powerful starting points for advocating for women's health across every life stage. ••• Connect with Jennifer Weiss-Wolf: Website: https://jenniferweisswolf.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferweisswolf/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

https://swiy.co/PediatricMeltdownPodcast"What if one conversation in a bustling New York City restaurant could spark a movement in menstrual equity? You're about to hear a story of passion, dedication, and the audacity of advocacy. In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, your host Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with special guest Anusha Singh, a medical student at Ohio State who is harnessing a powerful force of change. Together, they explore Anusha's journey as a student-turned-advocate, from organizing a press conference that caught the attention of five presidential candidates to testifying in front of lawmakers to repeal the tampon tax. Her dedication to addressing period poverty and fighting for change serves as a powerful reminder that one person's voice can spark a movement. So, let us take her example to heart and use our own voices, stories, and actions to break down barriers, challenge societal norms, and create a world where every person has access to the period products they need. Together, we can dismantle the stigma, create lasting change, and empower every individual to live their lives with dignity and respect.

In this episode, we take a look at how Scotland became the first country to provide free mensural items to all citizens. Which implies that it is now a legal entitlement for people in Scotland to get free period products when they are in need. And for the deep dive, we understand that China, which had imposed a controversial one-child policy for 35 long years, is now desperately trying to lift its birth rate. Perhaps, this is a cautionary tale for India where the demand for a two-child policy keeps propping up off and on. Tune in to know more!

Today we're hearing an incredibly inspiring story from Nitasha Mehta, a woman I met in New York who works in the CPG space for a company called Boxed. And why I wanted to share this story with you is to show you how much impact you can create in the world, even without jumping straight into starting a business. I think it's an important reminder that you can create significant impact at your place of employment; with resources and support at your fingertips.Nitasha's an experienced digital marketer with over 15 years of expertise in e-commerce, product marketing, CRM, and shopper marketing. She currently heads up CPG Brand Partnerships at Boxed, working directly with over 60 CPG brands. She's extremely passionate about technology and equal opportunity, and she launched the RethinkPink initiative at Boxed--which led to Boxed becoming the first and only US retailer to take a stand against gender pricing inequities. She has also been involved with legislation and has testified in states that have introduced bills to repeal the Tampon Tax, 3 of which went on to repeal the tax, as well as joined Congresswoman Jackie Speier in her Pink Tax Repeal Act.I'm so inspired, and I hope you are too.LINKS WE MENTION:Nitasha's Instagram Nitasha's LinkedInFemale Startup Club's InstagramDoone's InstagramDoone's TikTokIn sponsorship with Zyro, easiest to use website builder and eCommerce platformIn partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.Female Startup Club's YouTubeFemale Startup Club's Private Facebook GroupSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com
According to Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, author of Periods Gone Public: Taking a Stand for Menstrual Equity, taxing menstrual products is discriminatory and unconstitutional. The good news is that the movement to get rid of what has been called the “tampon tax” has been successful in some states. There are still states, however, that continue to tax half of its population. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf joins us to discuss period equity and the injustice of the tampon tax.

In questo episodio discuteremo quali effetti sta effettivamente producendo sulla campagna vaccinale l'obbligo di green pass per i lavoratori. Nel suo discorso alla Camera del 20 ottobre scorso, il presidente del Consiglio Mario Draghi ha presentato a riguardo dei dati poco convincenti o proprio sbagliati. Passeremo poi ad altre due verifiche della settimana politica italiana. La prima è sulla cosiddetta tampon tax, la riduzione dell'IVA sugli assorbenti igienici, annunciata per la prossima manovra finanziaria. La seconda è sul reddito di cittadinanza e, in particolare, sul valore economico delle truffe perpetrate per ottenere ingiustamente questo sussidio. Analizzeremo in seguito i risultati definitivi delle elezioni amministrative, cercando di capire in che misura il centrodestra ne sia uscito perdente e se è vero che, come affermato dal segretario Enrico Letta, il Pd sia “uscito dalle Ztl” e abbia recuperato terreno nelle periferie delle grandi città.La nostra rubrica di debunking si concentrerà su due vicende: le proteste anti green pass nel porto di Trieste, che hanno generato un florilegio di notizie false, e la narrazione complottista su una nuova pandemia, per la quale l'OMS avrebbe pronto un rimedio fatale.

Nella nuova puntata di Chiamando Eva, Francesca e Elena insieme all'ostetrica Chiara Mastromauro affrontano il tema del ciclo dal punto di vista fisiologico, sociale e politico.A seguito dell'acceso dibattito sulla Tampon Tax, le speaker di Chiamando Eva tornano a parlare di questioni legate al corpo della donna e alla poca attenzione con cui viene questo considerato. Pur essendo un processo naturale — e quindi, per la maggior parte dei casi, inevitabile — le mestruazioni in Italia sono considerate un “bene di lusso”, o almeno è quanto comunica la tassazione al 22% per gli assorbenti e le coppette mestruali.Il tema è stato spesso fonte di discussioni e querelle parlamentari che se si sono sempre risolte in un nulla di fatto, malgrado fosse una battaglia portata avanti da anni.Ma come funziona nel resto d'Europa e del mondo? Perché in Italia abbiamo ancora così poca attenzione per una questione che tocca da vicino tutte le donne? Ma soprattutto, se vogliamo che le cose cambino è necessario che venga tolto il tabù legato alle mestruazioni e il conseguente pudore e imbarazzo che per troppo tempo affligge le donne facendole sentire in colpa e a disagio una volta al mese.Come combattiamo tutto questo?Ne parliamo con Chiara Mastromauro, ostetrica, autrice dello sportello Freeda e già ospite di Chiamando Eva nelle passate stagioni.Leggi le note dell'episodio complete su: https://thesubmarine.it/2019/11/27/chiamando-eva-303/
