The products include tampons and sanitary pads available at designated public places such as community centers, youth clubs, and pharmacies

The Period Products (Free Provision) Scotland Bill was proposed by Scottish MP Monica Lennon, who first submitted a draft proposal in 2017. The annual cost is expected to be around 24.1 million pounds ($47.5 million).

This is a welcome development and such initiative is needed in Africa as some families are so poor their female children can't afford sanitary pads

A good development.

And the girls from this background actually need to take care of themselves too

I understand your point quite alright... But if you get to some rural areas where hope of 10k monthly is a mirrage. You'll understand my point better
