Episode 1.2: Menstrual Cups

Wadded up pieces of cloth, goatskin skirts, holes in the ground...these are period-management methods used by girls around the world who lack access to traditional period products. Carol Nakisiozi and Joanita Kajoba decided to do something about it. With the help of the nonprofit United Social Ventures, they created Femminae Uganda. Join us as we explore what menstrual cups and theology might have in common.

“We are Fem­mi­nae Ugan­da. It is a social ven­ture that is deal­ing with men­stru­al hygiene man­age­ment here in Uganda.”
