Period Poverty + Pink Tax

In episode 09, the Flow team speaks with Damaris from The Period Movement. Dama shares the multiple ways that EVERYONE can get involved in The Period Movement - including how to advocate for new legislation, how to host a community product drive and how Period.org's resources can help young people to normalize speaking about the experience of having a period!
