Sanitary napkins should be available both to local authorities and to heads of schools and educational institutions in the various counties in the northernmost territory of the United Kingdom. This is an absolute first among the nations of the United Kingdom as well as the rest of the planet, as several activists of women’s organizations point out in today’s comments in the media. “This campaign was supported by a great coalition of unions, women’s organizations and charities,” said Monica Lennon, a local MP who was one of the promoters of the law, among others. “It is a signal to the world that free universal access to menstruation products can be guaranteed,” he concluded.
