Free tampons and sanitary towels will be available at all state schools and colleges in England from next week, the government has said. Education ministers say the scheme means pupils won’t have to miss out on lessons due to their period and will help break down stigma. Schools will be able to order a range of sanitary products, including eco-friendly options. Campaigners had raised concerns that female pupils from lower-income families could be forced to miss class if they can’t afford sanitary products. One in 10 women aged 14-21 were unable to afford them while 12% had to improvise their protection, according to 2017 figures from the Plan International charity. Children and families minister Michelle Donelan said: ‘Periods are a normal part of everyday life and we do not want young people missing out on lessons because of them. ‘We know that it is not easy for everyone to access period products where and when they need them. ‘This scheme will deal with those problems so young people can go about their daily lives without getting caught out if they have come on their period unexpectedly, forgotten to bring products with them or if they can’t afford the products they need.’ Amika George, founder of the #FreePeriods campaign group, said the scheme would wipe out period worries among children ‘for the first time in history’. She added: ‘We ask that schools have open conversations with students about what they need and start signing up to the scheme – no child must miss out. ‘Free products in schools will ensure that every child can learn and be their very best, without periods holding them back.’ The Treasury first announced plans to fund free sanitary products in secondary schools England last year, but this was later widened to include primary schools. The Scottish and Welsh devolved governments have each said they will make period products free in their schools. Scotland will also give universities access to the scheme. *From Metro News #endperiodpoverty #educategirls #periodstruggles #notaluxury #tampontax #menstruation #womensrightsarehumanrights #halfthesky #halfthepopulation #keepgirlssafe #healthandwellness #healthandsafety #keepgirlsinschool
Did you know? January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. ✔️ It is estimated that up to 40.3 million people around the world are being trafficked. ✔️ Sex trafficking is one of the world’s fastest growing criminal industries. Trafficking generates an estimated $150 billion a year. Yes, BILLION. ✔️ Children are particularly vulnerable to exploitation, especially children connected to the child welfare system. ✔️Traffickers target youth in foster care because of their increased vulnerability due to a lack of family and emotional relationships and support. ✔️ 74% of child trafficking cases involved sex trafficking, and the majority of those involved pimp-controlled prostitution. ✔️The average age of child sex trafficking victims is 15, according to numbers of children reported missing to the (US) National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. ✔️Many sex trafficking victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children. 1 in 7 runaways reported missing were likely sex trafficking victims, and of those, 88% were in the care of social services or foster care when they ran Source: childrensrights.org Trafficking occurs in many forms and impacts every country in the world.

My heart goes out to all of the victims who endured assault, abuse, drugging and so much more from this monster. We don't speak enough about sexual abuse and assault that happens to men, but it does, and it matters. A life sentence seems like only a fraction of what #reynhardsinaga deserves. I hope his victims will find some solace in knowing he's locked up and unable to harm anyone else. Greater Manchester Police said anyone who believes they might have been attacked by Sinaga can report information online or call its police line on 0800 092 0410 from inside the UK or 0207 158 0124 from abroad. Link to report online: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/06GMP19V24-PO2 The force said anyone in need of support from specialist agencies could call 0800 056 0154 from within the UK or 0207 158 0011 from abroad.
