How do women in Africa and Asia manage their period in times of COVID-19? Normally, schools are the main source of reliable information and a safe place. Due to COVID-19, schools were closed, houses were packed and privacy was scarce, to not even mention the stress that comes with a pandemic. Together with two experts in the field, Andrew Samuel Kiiza (Plan International Uganda) and Pema Lhaki (NFCC, Nepal), we discussed the situation, the work that the government does and the next steps to be taken. 

This podcast was produced as part of Menstrual Hygiene Day 2021.
