DOING IT FOR THE GIRLS

No matter where they are and what they do, women deserve the right to feel dignified throughout their menstrual cycle but unfortunately, girls in disadvantaged countries do not have this liberty. When Lesa Moro learned that young girls were missing out on their already limited education because of their periods, she got to work creating reusable pads for the Days for Girls charity. The work of Lesa and her 50 volunteers in Mareeba has changed the lives of many young women and on this International Women’s Day, these efforts have been recognised and celebrated.
