Conflict zones present numerous hardships, but the issue of menstruation often remains hidden in the shadows. Without access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and proper hygiene products, women's health is at risk. They must find ways to manage their periods with limited resources, resorting to unhygienic practices and using whatever materials they can find. But amidst these challenges, there are organizations working tirelessly to address the issue and provide much-needed support. Today, we have a special guest joining us, Melissa Robel. She is the Founder and President of Pads 4 Refugees, a US-based non-profit that provides period products to women and girls in refugee camps. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art, a Juris Doctorate, and a Master of Laws in International Human Rights. When she’s not working, you can find her working on art, making jewellery, and working at her friend’s antique shop.
