Period Poverty; Tax or Not!

This new development (concession?) is overshadowed by the heartbreaking reality: innocent lives lost, many injured, and others still abducted. Before that, gaslighting and a lack of empathy.
This is still a far cry from #TheKenyaWeWant.
An mchanga account is asking for donations to support the families of those affected during the protests. Please contribute.
We face a long road to economic, psychological, and political freedom.
We still have a long way to go as well, in achieving Menstrual Equity, with 65% of women and girls in Kenya still not able to access menstrual products.
A few of us connected ahead of Tuesday’s protests to highlight the journey of Menstrual Justice in Kenya.

Good job Janet

Thanks for keeping this fire alive, Janet. Putting a tax on sanitary towels is essentially taxing women on the basis of their biology. It's saying, "You have a functioning uterus, here's an extra charge for your existence."
