Abstract
In December 2019 Rwanda announced its decision to remove VAT from sanitary products to make them more affordable. While a tremendous victory for advocates striving to end period poverty and institutionalised discrimination, for many women and girls questions remain around sanitary products’ affordability and accessibility. Ynis Isimbi sits down with Rwanda’s Minister of Health, Dr Diane Gashumba, to discuss the challenges.
