Period poverty: Scotland first in the world to give Free Tampons
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...itics-51629880
Women in Scotland soon to get Tampons Free. In all Public and School toilets [Since 2001, VAT has been charged on period products at a rate of 5% in the UK, with EU rules meaning this "tampon tax" could not be abolished or reduced any further. However, over the past five years the UK government has put money raised by VAT on period products into a tampon tax fund which is used to support women's organisations and charities.] |
Very good, progressive move.

Quite right. Access to healthcare of all kinds is a human right.
|
Estimated £10million pounds a year.

This should be extended to also provide sanitary pads for those of us whom tampons aren't an option.

It's a good move that other places should look to emulate. Such essentials should be available to all for free.
