Celebrating women humanitarians! 🎉 Petronila is one of the numerous #women in Viqueque who are supporting their communities to become resilient to natural disasters. It was a pleasure to meet mana Petronila & her amazing community of women during our last trip to #TimorLeste.

Earlier this week we saw the publication of the first ever #period product study involving actual period blood. Until now, products have been tested using saline solution. Sigh. The study was conducted to demystify and destigmatise heavy menstrual bleeding. So much more to do.

Calling all female creatives in the #Pacific! Looking for female #videographers, #photographers, #communicators & creative agencies! We are forming a creative hub to share potential work opportunities & support each other. Please share and send a DM if this might be you.
