The Issue of Menstrual Education & Period Poverty In The Caribbean
On this episode, we speak to Ashlee Burnett, director of Feminitt. Ashlee speaks with The Yaad on period poverty in the Caribbean and the barriers in addressing period poverty in the Caribbean. As she goes into how the lack of focus on menstrual education contributes to period poverty, she also spoke on what Feminitt is doing to address period poverty. Feminitt Caribbean is a registered non-governmental organisation geared towards advancing gender justice in the Caribbean through education, conversation and social good using an intersectional Caribbean feminist lens. Ashlee also took the opportunity to speak on Feminitt Safe Cycle Report.
