Through their work, Padmad has helped thousands of girls, in Kenya and beyond, stay in school by creating access to safe, reusable menstrual products and education. This is more than a documentary film. It’s a night about courage, dignity, and reimagining what equity can look like for women and girls everywhere.
This State Theatre Community Night is presented in partnership with Uplift Travel Foundation, NMC’s International Services & Service Learning Program, and the International Affairs Forum.
Admission is free for NMC students. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $6 for high school students. Tickets are required. Get your tickets at TCIAF.com.
