Pamela Elekwachi is the founder of "The Girl On Project"; a menstrual health and hygiene advocacy organization based in Ondo State.
Our conversation covers why menstrual health and hygiene needs special attention and its own dedicated NGO. As men, we mostly want women to wear sanitary pads and shut up about it but she explains how it affects us all and why we should care.
We talk specifics about her organization's work. She serves very low-income communities where sanitary products have no place in household budgets, so they train young girls to make their own.
We also talk about cultural and religious obstacles to her work, as well as the other irons she has in the fire.
