Free Period Products in the UK | Leeds News
Description
A UK petition demanding free period products for all women and girls has hit 19,000 signatures, highlighting how period poverty—faced by one in ten young women—hurts health, education, and daily life. The government says it’s already acting through existing schemes, including the Department for Education’s school-based program launched in 2020, and NHS provision for patients upon request. If the petition hits 100,000, it will trigger a parliamentary debate—while the government insists its current initiatives are sufficient to tackle the issue.
