REMEMBERING|| Ladies without plastic - Green Menstruation. Environmental challenge by Sofonie Dala, Angola. Day 6

 WEBISODES FROM 27 NOVEMBER 2021


Women without plastic - Key to reduce our carbon footprints 👣


Africa educates her - Green menstruation


Greetings for the day! 

Welcome to the sixth day of the Green Menstruation Challenge!

There is an urgent need to innovate and find sustainable and yet practical solutions to feminine hygiene challenges. 

Today we have in the show our charismatic dancer Laudy. She will share with us about her personal hygiene. Many of you know her.


Hello!
Hi.
What is your name?
My name is Laudy.
How old are you?
I'm 18 years old.
Which of these pads do you use?
I use the disposable pad.
Why?
Because it's more convenient for people.
But why do you prefer this one and not the washable pad?
I don't prefer the reusable pad because I don't want to wash it. I don't feel comfortable touching my blood.


Interesting that menstrual cups, reusable pads and sponges are readily available but haven’t gained much traction so far.The problem with stigma is that it often denies women a vocabulary to deal with the issues around menstrual health and hygiene. Open dialogue is the first step in changing the way women deal with menstruation and can create awareness around the need make a switch.



Laudi has been giving her input in many of our programs. Let's remember her past performance.

 Corona Dance Angola. Day 43

Pandemic lockdowns might be pervasive, but not all our movements are restricted. This has led to a rise in dance, as people seek fitness, stress relief, healing — and connection.

Our today's guest will show some Covid-19 dancing techniques while staying at home without studying.

Choreography is a conversation.


YO YO YO, quarantine affected me, I spent a long time without studying. Now I'm going to dance!

Quarantine, quarantine quarantine, quarantine

Africa Educates Her Campaign - Angola. Season 3.  Webisode 15 (Friday, 1 January 2021)

Happy New Year 

Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 15

In some places, children have been out of school for 9 months or more. Prolonged school closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are presenting an unprecedented challenge to children’s education, health and well-being worldwide. The longer a student stays out of school, the higher their risk of dropping out.

Our today's guest is Laurinda, she will share with us her academic experience during the time of Covid-19 pandemic.


As a result of covid-19, my school was transformed into a living-house

Hello! My name is Laurinda Mateus. I am 17 years old, I study in the 7th class and I live in Angola.

Laurinda how did the coronavirus affect your studies?

Well, I spent a long time without studying, without writing, without seeing my colleagues and teachers.

Now that schools have reopened you are you studying?

No, I am not studying. 

Why?

Because my school was put up for rent now it's people's home. The school was permanently closed. Some citizens living around my school tested positive for covid-19. This insident forced the government to isolate the entire neighborhood including my school. That area stayed for a long time in the sanitary fence. For this reason the owner of the school made the decision to eliminate all educational services and the school was rented out, thus transforming the school into a home. I saw people living there.

During this time that you are at home, have you done anything to continue learning?

Yes, I am taking a medical course.

Have you been following the coronavirus prevention measures?

Yes, I always wash my hands with water and soap, use alcohol gel and mask.

How do you feel, aren't you afraid of coronavirus?

I'm not afraid. Coronavirus is the one who should be afraid of me.
