Scotland introduces legal right to access free period products

Scotland has become the first country in the world to legislate on the right to access free period products.

The law legally requires councils and education providers to make period products available free of charge to anyone who needs them.

Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison said: “Providing access to free period products is fundamental to equality and dignity, and removes the financial barriers to accessing them. This is more important than ever at a time when people are making difficult choices due to the cost of living crisis and we never want anyone to be in a position where they cannot access period products.
