Period poverty affects girls and women across the world who can\\u2019t afford to buy sanitary pads or tampons each month. So what are the alternatives? We look at two very different solutions.
In a refugee camp in Jordan, we follow one woman as she tries to get a sanitary pad micro-factory off the ground. \\nWhile in Malawi, they\\u2019re handing out menstrual cups to teenagers - which last for 10 years and don\\u2019t produce any waste.
