IN CONVERSATION WITH DR RUTH APOSTOLOV

Loading player...
Discovery about hidden health risks in everyday menstrual products. I’d love
to propose a follow-up interview with Dr. Ruth Apostolov, internationally
recognised South African humanitarian and Head of the She PowHer
Foundation.
Dr. Ruth is a UN Global Humanitarian Award recipient, Special Envoy, and
leading advocate for menstrual equity and women’s health. Under her
leadership, She PowHer has distributed over 30,000 locally manufactured,
SABS-compliant menstrual cups across Southern Africa, keeping girls in
school, empowering women and reframing menstrual health as a public
health, human rights and economic justice issue.
She can add valuable perspective on the risks highlighted by Visser, while
also addressing the broader need for education, transparency and
sustainable solutions in menstrual health.
