Oscar-Winning documentarian on menstrual equity worldwide

Melissa Berton
Melissa Berton

When Melissa Berton accepted her Oscar, she declared that "a period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." The statement put a spotlight on how young women all over the world were facing discrimination and financial burdens just because of the healthy, normal function of their bodies. We discuss what Berton is doing now and how her work has snowballed into a worldwide movement for Menstrual Equity.

KPCW Co-Host / Producer of The Mountain Life and Cool Science Radio
