Buying tampons is an annoyance for most, but it’s an impossibility for some. trib.al/moKBgbS

An FOI investigation by @MonicaLennon7 into the availability of sanitary products in NHS hospitals has led @scotgov to instruct every health board to make sure appropriate provision is available

today Eleanor’s motion passed at the British Medical Association’s Annual Reps Meeting, calling for access to sanitary products in hospital & universal provision in the community! This is now BMA policy & they will lobby govt to make it happen! Full speech

Millicent Fawcett was a suffragist who campaigned for women’s right to vote and at the age of 19 collected signatures for the first petition demanding female suffrage
It is fantastic to see her celebrated in Parliament Square with this statue

As always, as soon as we talk about our @FreePeriodNE to secure free sanitary products for girls and women, we are told they are cheap enough to buy. But, at the same time seemingly too expensive to provide free of charge. #periodpoverty

The fact women have to pay for sanitary protection, let alone worry about affording it while living in poverty, is inhumane and discriminatory. A lot of education needs to happen! Confusion super flow...& excellent response from @FreePeriodNE

It’s for dignity and hygiene not vanity. Would hate to think it was an issue for me and can see people having to skimp on this to buy food. Why are we even having to discuss this basic need? Should be a given

It's also about choice. If you want to buy the branded stuff you should be able too. Shouldn't have to buy the cheapest product which most women find aren't for purpose. xitter.cf/FreePeriodNE/status/98…

"For a family where there is a mother and two daughters who have periods, the average cost per month of buying sanitary products is £20." Three women, three periods. And, as the lass earlier pointed out, cheap sanitary products are not a practical option for some women.

Lucy Middleton 5 Jul. 1945 - 1951 Sutton constituency
In 1945 Lucy asked the President of the Board of Trade to make a statement 'regarding the supply of sanitary towels and to indicate the steps he is taking to remedy the general shortage of these articles.'
