Guest speakers included Dr. Susan Elliott and Elizabeth Onyango (Queen Elizabeth Scholar) from the GoHelP team, who discussed topics such as the lack of menstrual hygiene and consequences for girls in East Africa, and the best contributors to improving menstrual hygiene in the developing world, such as water and sanitation, during the panel discussion.
