World first: Scotland provides free sanitary products for women

The bill was approved in May 2020. According to the document, tampons and sanitary pads will be available at community centers, youth clubs and pharmacies.

In Scotland, on August 15, a law introduced free access to sanitary products for all women who need them. This was reported by European Truth.

Thus, Scotland became the first country in the world to take this step to cope with poverty in this area.

The local councils of the country will individually take the necessary steps to secure such goods.

As you know, the Scottish government in 2018 became the first in the world to provide free sanitary products to schools, colleges and universities.

The authorities are convinced that access to free products of this kind is essential to equality and dignity and are removing financial barriers to accessing them.

As a 2017 survey by children’s charity Plan International found that around 10% of girls in the UK could not afford sanitary products, campaigners led the charge to warn that many girls were skipping classes .

It will be recalled that earlier in Australia, the tax on feminine hygiene products that was implemented for 18 years was cancelled.

Pads and tampons will be free in Scotland
