Revolutionising Period Care and Gender Equality - Em Anastasi, In the flow
Manage episode 439646164 series 2798978
Today on the podcast we have a powerful and important conversation with Em Anastasi. Em Anastasi is a Gender Equality Advocate, Period Poverty Activist and founder of the social enterprise, intheflow. Em is on a mission to save the planet, tackle period poverty, and transform workplace cultures. Through fundraising, she is addressing period poverty by providing eco-friendly period products to those in need.
Em explains what period poverty is, and how it is very much a domestic problem, as well as global, citing a survey in Brighton where 43% of the participants said they struggled to afford period products each month. Em is really keen to destigmatise menstrual health. Em explains how she created her product and set up a buy one give one format. We discuss the unique challenges of marketing a period product, getting the pricing right so the product is accessible, and the changes that need to happen to eradicate period poverty in the UK.

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
