Scotland's new law which makes access to free period products a right comes into place tomorrow.
Scotland will become the first country in the world to protect the right to free period products when the act comes into force. The Period Products Act means that councils and education providers will be legally required to make free sanitary products available to those who need them.
Since 2017, around £27 million has been spent to provide access in public settings. The legislation was proposed by Labour MSP Monica Lennon and it was unanimously backed in the Scottish Parliament in 2020.
