“No one should have to choose between buying groceries and period products, it’s that simple,” said David Eby.
Premier-designate David Eby has thrown his early support behind one of the BC NDP’s most laudable causes – the movement to make menstrual products like tampons and pads universally available for free in as many public spaces as possible.
“Period poverty is real and we’re working hard to end it. Part of the problem is stigma and silence around menstruation. Our government is tackling this issue head on.” The solution is not as simple as the government throwing money at the problem to mass-purchase tampons and pads, either. For example, during last year’s historic flooding, when people were displaced from their homes in the Fraser Valley and Interior, the United Way was organizing plane and helicopter air-drops of tampons and pads to people who were unable to access them anywhere else, said Hill.
