Menstruation matters | Sabrina Rubli | TEDxUW

We all know of the importance of breaking the menstrual taboo but in this talk, you'll find out why we need to do this and what one entrepreneur is doing to address the taboo, empowering women and young girls in Africa.


Sabrina Rubli is Founding Director of Femme International, an NGO that is using education and conversation to break down the menstrual taboo in East Africa. The organization works to empower young women by delivering interactive health education workshops designed to keep girls in school, and has been involved in the global Menstrual Hygiene Day movement since its inception.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
