Scotland first in world to make period products free – BBC News
Scotland has become the first country in the world to make period products free for all.
MSPs unanimously approved the Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Bill on Tuesday.
There is now a legal duty on local authorities to ensure that free items such as tampons and sanitary pads are available to “anyone who needs them”.
The bill was introduced by Labour MSP Monica Lennon. She has been campaigning to end period poverty since 2016.
She said it was a “practical and progressive” piece of legislation made all the more vital because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Periods don’t stop for pandemics and the work to improve access to essential tampons, pads and reusables has never been more important,” she added.

In a compelling new interview, veteran investigative reporter John North recounts his unforgettable experience of witnessing the failed execution attempt of death row inmate Christa Pike.
Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. For years, her case has remained one of the state’s most notorious criminal stories.
As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state’s attempt to carry out Pike’s execution – which did not go to plan.
The Tennessee Department of Correction has not explained why the execution did not go as planned, though it has defended the method it used. It declined comment on Pike’s statement when contacted by the BBC.
This programme includes details of the process of an execution you may find upsetting.
