New legislation in Florida will require sanitary napkins, pads and tampons to be provided in all female bathrooms in K-12 public schools.
The Learning with Dignity Bill, which was filed by Sen. Lauren Book on Monday, is a part of the senator’s “pro-women-and-girls legislative agenda,” which also includes legislation to expand Medicaid to post-partum care.
“One in five girls have either left school early or missed school entirely because they did not have access to menstrual products,” Sen. Book said. “Girls pay a price when these products aren’t free – and providing them will go a long way toward equity in education.”
