Young Australian of the Year 2021, Isobel Marshall, and Co-founder of Taboo, Eloise Hall are fighting period poverty. They are championing gender equality and advocating for safe relationships, sexual rights and respect for girls.

In their teens, they developed the idea behind the organisation Taboo. Taboo now provides access to sanitary products and education to women in developing countries like Uganda and Sierra Leone. 100% of their profits go to providing education and promoting health and menstrual hygiene, to tackle period taboos around the globe so that girls have everything they need to thrive and be the best they can be.

Izzy and Eloise have travelled as far as India and Kenya to spread the word. They are both such an inspiration to young people. In this episode, they share their story and experiences and show us that with passion and drive you can absolutely make a difference in the world!
