According to sources, the student council took the initiative to install two menstrual product dispensers at Örnaskolan in Hylte municipality. External sponsors helped install the menstrual product dispensers. The dispensers provide pads and tampons for free to students.
Previously, pads and tampons could be obtained from school counselors and mentors. The new dispensers make menstrual products more accessible and easier for girls to access, according to Baneen Hasani, chairperson of the student council at Örnaskolan. " The identities of the external sponsors who helped install the dispensers have not been disclosed.
It becomes safer for the students and is important for gender equality.
It is also unknown how many students are expected to benefit from the dispensers. The initiative aims to improve accessibility and safety for students at the school.
