Free access to feminine hygiene products for many school children is what one bill in the Arizona legislature intends to do.
The idea is to have tampons and pad dispensers in school bathrooms for grades 6-12. Advocates want the dispensers to be coin-free.
“A lot of things that I do here, I did because I wanted to make sure there were no barriers for our students to come to school,” said Mort.“We try to get a variety of things,” Mort said.“Although our resource centers here at TUSD does provide them or our health offices, we have toiletry drives here at the school where families that can afford things contribute, our staff contributes,” Mort said.
“They don't want to ask their teacher depending on their teacher’s gender, you know, I need to go in the nurse's office for this reason and that will get rid of that stigma,” Mort said.
