In India alone, 23 million girls drop out of school early when they start menstruating because they are unable to handle their periods properly. For the Pad Project, she helped produce a documentary called "Period. End of Sentence", on Netflix now, which later got her an Oscar at age 19 for best documentary short. The passion Sophie has for what she does is super inspiring, and it really shows no matter what age you are, anyone can make a difference in the world.
