Where are the girls, BBC?

Period poverty: Schools urged to order free menstrual products www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51167487

Not one girl mentioned, bar a link to another story.

It's students, pupils, children.

And yet all other reports I've seen have quotes from others such as plan international who emphasise how some girls can be disadvantaged by period poverty.

Other reports particularly emphasise that many girls start their periods at primary school, which the bbc fail to recognise too.

Anyone else wondering where these free products will go? In the unisex loos?

You couldnt make up being so deliberately thick could you

I mean going as far as acknowledging that girls suffer from multiple obstacles with periods ,.shaming being one of them and now they have to take one out on front of boys and hope the stasg hasnt been trashed by them mucking around

@SarahTancredi why is that thick - pray tell?

It's great news for many people - in theory - but in the current climate a reasonable question. How will the girls get them? Do they have to ask? Are they locked away or will they be on full display in the unisex loos everyone keeps moaning about which to be honest doesn't sound like a great idea - for mix of teenage boys messing with them and girls being embarrassed to get them in front of boys. Genuine question. Sorry I'm not as intelligent as you.

@SarahTancredi sorry I think I totally misread your post.

No sorry jakey I was agreeing with you.

How stupid do they have to be to realise theres problems but not follow it through to the logical conclusion that having to deal with period poverty infront of boys makes it worse.

It makes no sense. And we are all supposed to pretend we dont see it...

Dont see the huge lack of thought and consideration to girls..

Its astounding . It really is..

Sorry I'm coming around from anaesthetic!!

It's ok. Lets face it we are all dealing with alot. Every day another email another complaint and another reminder of how much we have to fight for. Think we can overlook the odd miss reading of a post...we have all done it. And will all do it again.

I hope you came round ok and get to go home soon

Thank you x

So, has any one had a response yet.

Tumbleweed here. Still within the 10 day window but I'm starting to think that they just wont.

Anyone get lucky and got a response ?

They must have read the thread I had a response. However all it was was to tell me my complaint had been referred to the relevant people and not to contact them in the mean time
