As reported by The Guardian, under the Period Products Act, the Scottish government is set to introduce a nationwide program that will place a legal duty to make feminine hygiene products. This includes items such as tampons and pads for those who require them.
The Scottish Parliament unanimously approved the Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Bill on Tuesday. Now, it will be the legal duty of the Scottish government to ensure period items like sanitary pads and tampons are freely available to anyone who needs them.
