"Scotland has taken a big step toward becoming the first country in the world to end "period poverty" — the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products like pads and tampons due to financial hardship.



The Scottish Parliament on Tuesday approved legislation that would make pads and tampons freely available to all who need them at designated public places such as community centers, youth clubs, and pharmacies, according to Reuters.



The bill passed with 112 votes in favor and one abstainer, and will now enter the second phase during which legislators can propose amendments to the bill.



This follows Scotland's 2018 decision to make sanitary products free to all students in schools, colleges, and universities in the country, according to the Guardian.



It was the first nation to do that, too.



The bill was first put forward by Scottish Labour Party politician Monica Lennon in 2017. Speaking during the debate in Parliament this week, Lennon said passing the bill would be a "milestone moment for normalizing menstruation in Scotland and sending out that real signal to people in this country about how seriously parliament takes gender equality.""

Leaving out free rags would be a great idea if the population was still all White, and wouldn't abuse that courtesy, but we all know the non-Whites will load up with as much "free" as they can, 'cause it's free.  They may even resell them.



I used to live in Vancouver, and Blackberries grew there on the sides of the roads.



Whites would pick what they would use/eat.  Chinese would strip literal city blocks clean of fucking Blackberries.



Chinks would take them all.

I know a certain Italian woman who would do the same but you have raised a good point. I bet the Africans would send a percentage back home to Zimbabwe and South Africa The sanitary women's product are worth 7 loaves of bread in Zimbabwe so they would rather feed their kids the bread than buy sanitary products.

Technically mouth hygiene is really important as well.. All kinds infections might happen if you dont brush your teeth..





Will the government start providing free toothbrushes and toothpastes?

No surprise considering you think using your elderly mum's mouth as a cockholster for Pakis is a good career choice for frumpy barrel shaped Brit broads.

It's in your mum's mouth. She likes bringing work home with her.

Well actually when my son went through primary school, dental health checks were free in Western Australia...



And last January when I was in hospital, I said, "oh shit, I forgot my toothpaste," in front of a nurse and two minutes later a brand new toothbrush AND a tube of Colgate Toothpaste Total (my favourite) was handed to me free of charge....



We always get free stuff in Australia... what's the big deal?
