| What would a sustainable menstrual health ecosystem in the Pacific look like? In September 2018, with the support of the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, to advance the next steps of the ‘Last Taboo’ research, the Criterion Institute and Pacific RISE arranged a four-day workshop. The workshop brought together a diverse range of social and business actors focused on improving menstrual health management in the Asia-Pacific region to understand and explore investment opportunities. During the workshop, it became clear that investment needs to be targeted and appropriate to both the enterprises and the market.
