Description

In this special International Women's Day episode, host explores the quiet yet powerful network of female mutual aid through the lens of a simple act: lending a menstrual pad. Titled “A Pad's Distance”, we dive deep into the stories of four women in Hong Kong. From Ella’s analysis of unfriendly public spaces to Julia’s campus connections, Sally’s convenience store kindness, and Suri’s journey from being denied help to driving change, we uncover how a 30-second exchange carries a profound promise: "You don’t have to face this alone." This episode unpacks this year's IWD theme, “Give to Gain”, revealing that giving a pad means gaining understanding, connection, and a step toward a kinder world.
