KIDSCAN
Being able to access sanitary items discretely makes life a lot easier, students at a Hastings school say. They were part of a KidsCan trial that provided education packs, ordering cards and carry bags along with period products.
Free period products will be available at some Auckland Council-run facilities as part of a pilot scheme running until the end of March. The roll-out of the products, which will be available at 35 female, male and gender-neutral bathrooms, across the city, come after the announcement of free period products in school earlier this year. The trial is part of a partnership between charity The The Period Place and Auckland Council.
