@thisismoney: Scotland became the first country in the world to make period products free Scotland made history by becoming the first country in the world to provide free period products to anyone who needs them, following the introduction of the Period Products Act. The law requires local authorities and education providers to ensure products such as tampons and sanitary pads are available free of charge. The move was designed to tackle period poverty and ensure that nobody misses out on work, school or daily life because they cannot afford essential hygiene products. Free products are now available through a network of schools, colleges, universities and community venues across Scotland. The policy has been praised internationally and has inspired similar discussions in countries around the world about improving access to menstrual health products and reducing financial barriers. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
