Women without plastic - Key to reduce our carbon footprints 👣
Greetings for the day!
In the long run, a lack of education can have several devastating impacts on a girl's life, including the possibility of child marriage, early pregnancy and vulnerability to violence and abuse.
Our program is supporting communities around the world with a life-changing skill and helping to protect the environment at the same time.
Today we have Marcelina, she has been participating actively in many of our shows, and now she is going to share with us about her hygiene preferences.
Hi.
Please tell us which of these pads do you use?
I use this disposable pad.
Can you tell why?
Well, I use this to protect myself. Furthermore, once I have used this pad, I can easily throw it away.
Why is the cloth absorbent not your preference?
Simply because I don't like to wash.
Safe, affordable menstrual products are essential for anyone who menstruates. But around the world, millions of women, girls and people who menstruate can’t afford to buy or don’t have reliable access to the safe menstrual products they need.
The use of conventional, disposable menstrual products is harming the environment. Most sanitary pads contain up to 90% plastic, while tampons have plastic applicators and sometimes come in individual plastic wrappers. The production of plastic and improper disposal of these products is causing pollution and filling up landfills.
Period poverty, including the stigma that often surrounds menstruation, stops many people from going to school or work, leading them to miss out on their education or vital income to support themselves and their families.
Special song from Marcia
Hello, my name is Marcia, since we are experiencing difficult moments in this pandemic, I will sing a song that has always comforted me.
Jesus died on the cross for me
Jesus died on the cross for me
he was falling and getting up,
broken he was,
abandoned by death
even so, he still said Father forgive them
because they don't know what they do

CORONA VOICE . THE TOK SHOW WITH SOFONIE DALA
As the pandemic has pressed on, people have found innovative ways to come together. There have been dances of gratitude, dances with masks, dances that connect, as a way of encouraging people to dance their blues away.
Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you our dancer Marcelina!
Hello everyone! My name is Marcelina. I have not been studying since May 1, 2020 because of the covid-19, but this does not stop me from dancing.
How are you all making work under lockdown and what concerns has this crisis raised for you?
Lockdown has given us permission to reimagine what making art might look like.
