    • Documentary

In this episode I talk to Mandi Tembo about period poverty, education, culture, and her experience in free bleeding and what it entailed.

She has worked in implementation research for the past 5 years and holds an MSc in Global Health and Development from University College London and a B.A in Public Health (Biology) and Women Gender Studies. Most of her research work has been in sexual and reproductive health, community-based interventions, and women’s health.
