The Period Products Act requires schools, colleges, and local government bodies to make period products free to anyone who needs them.
Under the new law, schools, colleges, and universities, along with local government bodies such as libraries and community centers, are required to have a range of period products available for free in their bathrooms. There is also a new mobile app that allows people to find the nearest location that offers free menstrual products.
“[The law] is about making sure that everyone can participate in education and work and sport and other leisure pursuits.
“Providing access to free period products is fundamental to equality and dignity, and removes the financial barriers to accessing them," Scottish Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison told“This is more important than ever at a time when people are making difficult choices due to the cost of living crisis, and we never want anyone to be in a position where they cannot access period products," she added.
, two-thirds of the 16.9 million low-income people who menstruate in the U.S. could not afford period products in the last year. That is over 11 million period-havers in the U.S. who don’t have access to menstrual products.“Periods are normal,” Lennon saido one should ever be made to feel ashamed, or that it’s dirty or needs to be hidden away.” Period.
