For homeless women, finding shelter is just one of a huge bundle of challenges. Add to that safety, security and then the complications of hormones and menstrual cycles; homeless women have been known to use old clothes, socks and even leaves during their period. Cecelia and Nat chat with Donna Stolzenberg from The Period Project about supporting homeless women. In this episode you’ll learn why people find themselves living on the streets (it's far less likely a result of drugs and alcohol), why you’ll think more laterally when supporting the homeless and how we can no longer take our simple staples like sanitary items for granted.
