Period poverty: Scotland first in world to make period products free

 

Scotland has become the first country in the world to make period products free for all.

There is now a legal duty on local authorities to provide free items such as tampons and sanitary pads to "anyone who needs them".

Products will be distributed through councils and education providers as the Period Products Act comes into force.
