Period Dignity at North Ayrshire Council
Channel: Unite Scotland
Date: 2018-09-24

Today (Monday 24th) Unite the Union have officially launched our "Period Dignity" campaign to all the regions of the UK.

However, in Scotland, we already have a Labour council who have started the ball rolling in providing Period Dignity, North Ayrshire.
Since last year, North Ayrshire Council have provided free products for all schools to try and tackle period poverty, and this year they have extended this to cover all council buildings, moving from poverty to dignity.

We are looking for other councils to follow North Ayrshire's fantastic lead, and provide period dignity for all women in Scotland, and we also call on the Scottish Government to provide funding to help councils implement this.

Unite is demanding period dignity. 
By making changes in our workplaces, our places of education, and in society, women and girls will be able to have a positive period, knowing that they are able to access sanitary products. 
Having a period is natural and should not be a source of awkwardness for anyone. 
We want access to sanitary products in the workplace and schools to be as normal as having access to things such as toilet roll.
