Period Products in New Mexico Schools | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico schools are now stocked with free menstrual products in every bathroom—women’s, gender-neutral, and at least one men’s—to end period poverty and keep students in class. With millions in funding, the goal is to make these essentials as common as toilet paper, tackling the reality that nearly a quarter of teens can’t afford period supplies, leading to missed school and health risks. While some districts struggle with expired stock or empty dispensers, most are fully compliant, with staff actively restocking to ensure no student faces a barrier to learning.
