Scotland just ended "period poverty".

These are the types of modern civilized programs I expect from the new Democratic administration where the women and minorities have new found power!

"Tackling ‘Period Poverty,’ Scotland Is 1st Nation to Make Sanitary Products Free
The Scottish Parliament voted unanimously to pass a measure that makes free period products available to anyone who needs them, the first country to do so."

LONDON — Scotland has become the first country in the world to make period products freely available to all who need them, after final approval was given to a landmark piece of legislation in Parliament on Tuesday.

The measures are intended to end “period poverty” — or the circumstances, and in some cases, prohibitive expense that have left many without access to sanitary products when they need them.

Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, posted on Twitter shortly after the vote on Tuesday evening that she was “proud to vote for this groundbreaking legislation” which she called an “important policy for women and girls.”
