New Zealand will spend $18M over three years on a programme that provides free sanitary products to all schools

New Zealand will distribute free sanitary products in schools to combat "period poverty" among the disadvantaged, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.

"Young people should not miss out on their education because of something that is a normal part of life for half the population," Ardern said. Ardern said participants in the pilot showed increased engagement at school and improved educational outcomes.
