Wen Forum - What do periods have to do with health and climate justice? 23rd October 2024 - YouTube

Wen Forum for #EnvironmenstrualWeek 2024 at Amnesty International - exploring how periods and climate change are connected. We will look at the health and waste impacts, equity and dignity, period poverty, education and regulation, and how we can challenge stubborn stigma and taboos. Plus we will be discussing the urgent need for a Menstrual Act, which encompasses all aspects of menstruation - to safeguard women, girls and people with periods, and the environment. We cannot have health and climate justice without period equity!
