Discover how one man fought through ridicule and rejection to create a surprisingly innovative solution that would improve women's health, economic opportunity and personal dignity in one fell swoop.http://www.menstrualman.com/Watch the trailerABOUT THE CAUSE: FFT X BUKIT HO SWEE FAMILY SERVICE CENTREFood for Thought is working together with the Bukit Ho Swee FSC team to strengthen the social and emotional capital of the neighbourhoods they work within.
