Public Buildings: Sanitary Products
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she has made any assessment of the potential merits of the free provision of period products in public buildings in England.
Answered by Dame Nia Griffith
This Government's approach is to resolve the issue at the source by tackling the reasons women and girls are pushed into period poverty to start with. We are protecting women’s living standards, alongside the public services they rely on, so that no one has to go without life's essentials.
We are also continuing to make free period products available through several different avenues, including in schools and hospitals, to ensure that they are accessible to those most in need.
