With budgets diverted to food parcels, nearly 180,000 Gauteng learners did not receive dignity packs, which include sanitary towels. Health-e spoke to learners who were left vulnerable by the decision.
Thousands of Gauteng learners were left vulnerable when the provincial Department of Social Development (DSD) failed to deliver their dignity packs in recent months.
The Department of Women, Youths and Persons with Disabilities (DWYPD) launched the Sanitary Dignity Programme in 2019. The programme was meant to implemented for quantile one to three schools. The National Treasury also made funds available so that the programme could run in all nine provinces.

The Compensation for Injuries and Occupational Diseases Amendment Bill makes domestic workers eligible for claims at the Compensation Fund.
However, section 43 of the bill prohibits medical service providers from ceding medical invoices to financial institutions or third-party administrators.
Lobby groups say section 43 will overburden medical care providers and worsen backlogs.
Representatives of injured workers, the medical healthcare sector and domestic workers have warned that a clause in the Compensation for Injuries and Occupational Diseases Amendment Bill runs the risk of worsening the already dysfunctional compensation process and choking healthcare.
Speaking during a virtual webinar on Thursday afternoon, representatives of the Injured Workers Action Group (IWAG), the South African Medical Association (SAMA) and the United Domestic Workers of South Africa union (UDWOSA) warned the amendments would make claims harder.
