Let’s Talk Menstrual Waste – A Twitter Chat

Let’s Talk Menstrual Waste – A Twitter Chat

 

Interviewee: Harriet Parke, Katharine Blacklaws, Feminism In India

Interviewer: Swetha D

Harriet Parke & Katharine Blacklaws are consultants at Eunomia Research & Consulting. Feminism In India is a feminist platform based in India. All three of them came together to discuss the problems of menstrual waste & the importance of reusable menstrual products.

They discussed the issues with disposable sanitary products along with the availability of sustainable products which need to be used more. The discussion also touched upon menstrual taboos and how they play a role in stopping the conversation about sustainable menstruation.

This was the perfect conversation to have in the weeks leading up to Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28th.

Here is a snapshot of the chat.
