Period Poverty Part 2 - Uganda
Download MP3Following up from our last episode on period poverty, I reconnect with Nantume in Uganda to talk about her MYP personal project where she addresses this important issue as well as other issues related to the well-being of girls in her community. If you are interested in SDG 5 - Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls - and want to find out more about what that looks like in action from a student perspective, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. One last note. Nantume recorded this episode sitting outside on a beautiful day in her village. Listen carefully and you can hear the nature sounds in the background.

- We have connected Anna (featured in the previous episode) and Nantume, in the spirit of SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals - and look forward to seeing where their collaboration might lead. Perhaps a follow up episode down the road…
