Ruby is the CEO and Co-Founder of WUKA Wear. She is a passionate environmental scientist who combines her scientific knowledge and passion for lean startup methodology to solve the problems that surround disposable menstrual products. She was born and brought up in Nepal and with WUKA , she wants to break taboos around period worldwide.

This week on Change Making Women we talk to Ruby, who is originally from Nepal about how she developed the idea for Wuka Wear Period Pants and went about testing, developing and launching the product.

Listen to the show to hear more about the process of envisioning an innovative product, the environmental imperative for us to get into the habit of using reusable menstrual products, breaking down the stigma and taboos about our bleeding and the importance of addressing period poverty worldwide.

Change Making Women

Change Making Women: The Podcast for Women who make a differenceChange Making Women is a podcast with Ziada Abeid in Tanzania & Mary Ann Clements (formerly Mhina) in London. We make this Podcast for women who want to make a difference in the world through something they do. It could be their business, art, writing, other creative work, their campaigning or community organising, their work in NGOs, social movements and socially minded- businesses, from volunteers through solo-preneurs to those working in and leading large NGOs, social enterprises or businesses. If you are a woman trying to make change happen we are talking to you. This stuff is complicated so this isn't a simple how to guide (although we will talk about some of the hows we and others have and are trying) and we don't shy away from exploring the problems and discussing the difficult stuff. Nevertheless the things we talk about, the stories we tell and interviews we broadcast are all reflections, observations and pointers towards how we might make this world a better place for everyone living here. We aim to be topical, thought-provoking and inspirational, to bounce ideas around, trust that change is possible and introduce you to new people, things and ideas. Because Ziada is in Dar es Salaam and Mary Ann is in London the content is informed by those locations and the links between them, and, at the same time - we are talking to you wherever in the world you are trying to make a difference.
