It is a subject that many members of this club will only have a very sketchy knowledge or experience of..
I have over the years supported a number of period poverty campaigns and have been heartened by the number of employers who are now providing free sanitary products for women. Sadly the cost of these products, especially in the current cost of living crisis means that a growing number of women of all ages are struggling to pay for them. My local authority area has now started providing pads etc in schools.
I hope that this initiative also looks at increased support for women going through menopause. Thankfully my wife has been well supported by her employer but sadly many adopt the attitude of ' just get on with it'.
I really hope that this is not just another PR exercise by the government
