To many, sanitary pads seem like a luxury. Many women and girls use items such as newspapers, socks, toilet paper when they are menstruating because they cannot afford sanitary pads. In rural areas girls miss out on school days due to menstruation and the indignity of not having sanitary pads. The Dignity Dream Foundation has created re-usable sanitary pads and is targeting women and girls in rural areas in the country. Tshepang Lutshaba from the Dignity Dreams Foundation joins us this morning. Tshepang is also a Mrs Africa finalist this year. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news
