Mama, Let's Talk.

In Episode 5 of PeriodxClimate, a mother is worried that her daughter's menstrual cup will damage her reputation and her chances of marriage. Many of us have heard the same fear, in different words.

The truth: a menstrual cup says nothing about a girl's character. But being afraid of what people will say can shrink her choices, her health and her future.

This International Day of the Girl (11 October), the theme is to end child marriage and invest in girls' rights. When a girl's choices are limited by what people will say, we all lose. So we are adding our voices.

Watch the episode, share it with someone you love, and start the conversation at home.

Happy International Day of the Girl! 💛

To every girl asking questions, speaking up and dreaming bigger than the room she is in: you matter, your voice matters, and your choices are yours.

This year's call is to end child marriage and invest in girls' rights. That means keeping girls in school, giving them honest information about their bodies, and building a world where "what will people say?" never decides what a girl can become.

Through PeriodxClimate, we tell these stories with animation, one honest conversation at a time. Today, we celebrate girls and stand with them.

Tell a girl you know that she is seen and she is enough.

We talk about period products. We rarely talk about what happens to them afterwards.

In many countries, used pads and other menstrual waste are not clearly classified as medical waste. Without a proper system, women are left to bury, burn, or flush them, with consequences for their health, their communities, and the environment.

Our new PeriodxClimate episode follows the afterlife of a pad. How is period waste handled where you live?

Tell us in the comments.

🥊 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… in the red corner, the reigning champion: THE DISPOSABLE PAD!

In Episode 3 of Period x Climate, Adaeze sets up a face-off between four period products:
🗑️ Waste: about 250 disposable products a year, roughly 11,000 in a lifetime. A cup? Just one, for years.
⏳ After you're done: cloth breaks down in months, a disposable pad takes about 500 years.
💰 Cost: five years of monthly pads next to the price of one cup. That difference is school fees.
♻️ Reuse: three can be used again. One can't.

Then Nurse Fatima steps in. Reusables need clean water, soap and a private place to dry in the sun. If your family carries water for an hour, that's a big ask. And shaming a girl for using pads helps nobody. 💛

The greenest product is the one that actually works for your life.

Watch, share with someone who needs it, and tell us in the comments: what works for you? 👇

One pad = about four plastic bags. And it'll still be here in 500 years. 😳

In Episode 2 of PERIOD × CLIMATE, Adaeze breaks down what's really inside a conventional pad, layer by layer. 🌍

Up next: The Period Product Face-Off. Pads vs tampons vs cups vs discs vs cloth, compared honestly.

Episode 1 of PeriodxClimate is here. It's called "Not Bad Blood." 🌍

So many of us were raised to believe our periods were something to hide. To whisper about. To be a little ashamed of.

This episode says the opposite, out loud.

There is no bad blood here. Just a natural process, and a silence that has been passed down for far too long.

At Girls4DevelopmentGoals in Nigeria, we made this to help girls grow up without that shame. And we made it with AI, so a small team could tell a big story.

🩸 Menstrual cups and virginity, let's clear this up.

We're not here to insinuate anything, but the h***n is not a glass that shatters. It's a piece of skin. That's it. That's the post.
