30. Period Equity: Vivi Lin (With Red) - Game Changers

Vivi Lin 林薇 is a period equity activist. As a college student she founded the NGO, With Red, to solve period poverty, to raise awareness and boost education for women’s health, to bring affordable menstrual products, and to eliminate stigma surrounding menstrual cycles.

She’s the 2021 recipient of the Diana Legacy Award of the UK - an award for youths aged 9-25 years in recognition of their social action or humanitarian work.

“Whenever we talk to people or negotiate with people or lobby with a government, we always try to remove all these obstacles that we already can see right in front of them.”
