These African countries give schoolgirls sanitary pads for free

Kenya

In 2017, Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta signed into law the Basic Education Amendment Act, which places the responsibility of providing ‘free sufficient and quality sanitary towels to every girl child registered and enrolled in a public basic education institution and has reached puberty’ on the government.

The law also requires the government to provide a safe and environmental sound mechanism for disposal of the sanitary towels.
