California Democratic Assemblywoman Christina Garcia was inspired when Scotland declared last year that access to menstrual products is a human right. The country announced it would offer free period products to whoever needed them. The Period Products Bill was passed unanimously by Parliament and requires schools, universities, and publicly funded places to offer free menstrual products in all bathrooms. Garcia decided to put into motion an addition to her 2017 bill that made it law for low-income schools to provide free menstrual products to students who need them. And now California may be on its way to offering the same grace to all public schools.
