Progressive Slovakia Proposes Free Menstrual Products in Schools to Address Period Poverty

Progressive Slovakia, the main opposition liberal party, has submitted a legislative proposal to provide free menstrual products in schools and distribute them from state reserves to helping professionals and people in need. The initiative aims to address menstrual poverty, a social issue where individuals cannot afford basic menstrual hygiene products. The proposal would establish a systematic approach to ensuring access to menstrual products through educational institutions and state-supported distribution channels for vulnerable populations and social workers.
