Menstrual products to be provided for free at NB schools

As women’s minister, I am proud that our government is investing $115,000 to school districts to provide free menstrual products. A young person should not feel shame or embarrassment at school because she needs a tampon or pad – a reality male students don't face. Students need these products and this program will remove unnecessary and inequitable barriers so young learners can engage in academic and social settings with less worry.
