Quotes

• "Have a teachable spirit; have the will to want to learn and to grow".
  • "Teachability" (January 3, 2017)
• "Creating a safe space to discuss issues that are otherwise uncomfortable, allow people to learn, share and act. Period conversations are becoming more

commonplace on the continent and that’s great. The launch of the #menstrualhealthmanagement strategy and policy in Kenya is another great step in the right 
direction. But #periodpoverty remains a glaring gap, one I hope we can intentionally and aggressively campaign to end".

• “Periods are normal, period poverty disrupts families and period poverty is something that is an injustice. It’s a human rights violation and therefore

needs to be addressed as such.”

• • [2] (2020)
• “Today, we take action to end menstrual inequalities such as period poverty. We must. The lives of millions of girls and women demand that we do. Poor

menstrual hygiene caused by a lack of education on the issue, persisting taboos and stigma, limited access to hygienic menstrual products and poor 
sanitation infrastructure undermines the educational opportunities, health and overall social status of women and girls around the world. As a result, 
millions of women and girls are kept from reaching their full potential".
