Join us for a film screening of the Academy Award-winning short documentary “PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE.”, followed by a conversation with Rayka Zehtabchi, Iranian-American filmmaker. The short documentary is about a group of village women in Northern India who start a sanitary pad business in an effort to improve feminine hygiene and de-stigmatize menstruation. Along with the film’s release, the Period team co-founded the non-profit “The Pad Project” to fight the stigma of menstruation and improve feminine hygiene worldwide. RSVP here.
