What steps she is taking to tackle period poverty.

Reply

The Department for Education runs a scheme providing free products in education settings, so periods aren’t a barrier to learning for young women. There are similar schemes to ensure that hospital patients and those in police detention have access to the products they need.This Government is tackling the root causes of poverty through measures to make work pay, boosting the living wage, and investing in public services; so no one has to go without the essentials.
