Women trade unionists in Zimbabwe have appealed for international funds to make sanitary towels available at an affordable price.

The economic crisis in the country has led to a desperate shortage of these monthly necessities.

But the issue is considered taboo, and was played down by MPs after being raised in parliament.

Having failed to get any satisfaction at home, the unions are hoping to get help from abroad.

Before the economic crisis got so bad, one of the big multinational companies manufactured sanitary towels in Zimbabwe.
