Sanitary items in vending machines

From Afternoons, 1:26 pm on 2 September 2019

Women and girls can't control where and when they get their periods - and that can be a big struggle do deal with if you're young or poor.

Wellington man Keez Eketone and his husband Tom hit on an initiative: 10-cent tampons, available in vending machines.

Keez joins the programme to explain where the project is at now.

Keez and his husband Tom are looking for help to raise funds to bring some vending machines over from Australia, and also for help finding a space to put the machines. If you'd like to help out, you can do so here.
