"IT WAS a great big mix of ethnicities, nationalities, and languages in the room. But we had one thing in common. Each of us bled once a month," Vanessa Paranjothy says, recounting one of Freedom Cups' beneficiary outreach sessions.
Period education and de-stigmatisation are just 2 of the many goals sisters and co-founders Vanessa, Rebecca and Joanne Paranjothy had set for the company when it first started.
Founded in 2016, Freedom Cups manufactures and sells eco-friendly period products, focusing mainly on menstrual cups.
