We hear from advocates who say these laws are needed to tackle so-called 'period poverty,' and these supplies should be considered part of back-to-school shopping.
A new law passed in New Jersey requires school districts to provide menstrual products starting next fall.
In August, lawmakers passed a law ensuring students in grades sixth through 12th will have free access to menstrual pads and tampons in public school bathrooms starting the 2024-2025 school year. "If you're in New Jersey, we like to boast about our best-in-the-nation public school system, and for me, what that means is that it's not just that we have good, great schools and great teachers but we're also providing all the supplies that go into making that experience for our students," Mehrotra said.
Jennifer Gaines, of the National Diaper Bank Network, said part of that awareness starts at home, as oftentimes menstrual products tend to take a back seat when it comes to gathering back-to-school supplies.
