Bill to combat ‘period poverty’ in Alabama receives public hearing
Updated 12:48 PM;
The Alabama House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday nudged forward a bill that aims to place free menstrual hygiene products in school bathrooms.
The bill from Rep. Rolanda Hollis, D-58, as introduced requires local boards of education to provide feminine hygiene products in each women’s school restroom beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, for grades five through twelve, at no cost to students.
“Period poverty is an issue that affects girls in every nation, every state and every city; every person who has a working uterus needs menstrual products every single month,” said Brooke Bennett, an eighth-grader who, along with her sister Breanna, founded Women in Training in 2019 to give free sanitary products, hygiene education and mentorship to girls, women and nonbinary people.
