Menstruation is a natural process, yet for many in South Australia, accessing sanitary products remains a challenge. With rising costs and financial instability, especially among young students and low-income families, this basic necessity often becomes unattainable. 

In Adelaide, young girls and women often find themselves without the necessary sanitary products during school hours or while visiting public libraries and spaces. This lack of access can disrupt their education, limit their participation in public life, and affect their self-esteem and overall well-being. 

Providing free sanitary products in schools, libraries, and public spaces will help dismantle the stigma associated with menstruation and promote a more inclusive, supportive community. It's a simple measure that can ensure no young person in Adelaide faces the embarrassment or health implications of being unprepared when their period arrives.
