Fabulous announcement in today's #SpringStatement on free sanitary products in schools. Thanks @philiphammonduk for listening to #EndPeriodPoverty. @tory_women @ConYoungWomen

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

Philip Hammond says government will fund free sanitary products in secondary schools and colleges in England, saying "some girls are missing school" because they can't afford to buy them

Excellent news

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

"I have decided to fund the provision of free sanitary products in secondary schools and colleges in England from the next school year." #SpringStatement

[Matt Hancock @MattHancock]

The lack of sanitary products in hospitals has been an injustice - one that I am proud to say we are righting.

From this summer, tampons and sanitary products will be offered to every hospital patient who needs them. https://t.co/y36gWopQNL

[A Bloody Mess @aBloodyMessUK]

Women and girls in hospital who need sanitary protection will be offered free tampons and other products from this summer https://t.co/PlPSPyjSpK

[Emma Barnett @Emmabarnett]

About bloody time. Razors are given out to men in hospital - finally tampons and pads will be too. #period #periodpride https://t.co/8ET4Iwvy4A

@AverageMuslimJo Some men aren’t necessarily born male

[A Bloody Mess @aBloodyMessUK]

BREAKING: Women aren’t the only ones to have periods. It is important we include everyone from all walks of life if we are to tackle period poverty and access to hygiene products

[A Bloody Mess @aBloodyMessUK]

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Half the population have periods and yet many still struggle to get the necessary products when they need them.

Every been caught short at work, in the pub, or even Parliament?! Let us know by filling in our survey:

https://t.co/XIfrxW6S4R

[A Bloody Mess @aBloodyMessUK]

70% of people experienced inadequate toilet facilities when on their period #abloodymess

[A Bloody Mess @aBloodyMessUK]

Great progress is being made following our roundtable, but a little help never hurt no one !!🤩

[Ellie Varley @ellievarley13]

@jessphillips As a lot of attention is coming my way from this i’m going to shamelessly plug my campaign @aBloodyMessUK that aims to ensure more period products are available to obtain and dispose of, in ALL toilets. It happens everywhere, even the visitor toilets in Parliament fall short!

[A Bloody Mess @aBloodyMessUK]

Imagine getting caught short and no access to toilet facilities for over 2 hours...

[Clare Laxton 💙 @ladylaxton]

Hi @northernassist we've been stuck here for over 2 hours & the toilet doesn't work because the power's off. You're leaving us with no facilities. Staff are doing the best they can but it needs to be sorted ASAP. Think we should get more than £5.40 back in delay repay.

@jetowey @cwowomen @aBloodyMessUK talk talk talk discuss discuss discuss - this is how together, as a society we will #screwthetaboo around periods! #periods #women #taboo #2019
