With her appearance in the latest Stay Free feminine pads advert, Candice often speaks out about the issues women face daily.
In 2017, the star took to Twitter to ask fans to donate feminine hygiene products to a "pad drive" to help women across the country have access to sanitary pads.
In an interview with The Daily Mint in 2018, Candice opened up about her views on feminism during Women's Month. The TV host said women empowerment can only happen when the youths' cries for help are heard by leaders.
“We can protest all we want, but until our leaders account, acknowledge and begin to transform the system as leaders should, we’ll remain in the devastating state that we’re in. The youth’s voices need to be heard,” said Candice.
