🩸On this day in 2020, Scotland became the first country in the world to introduce universal free period products.
⚖️ The Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act was a historic breakthrough but is far from the end of the journey for menstrual justice. There’s still much to do.

How do trade unions work?🤔
A worker says to another worker: This isn't right.
Then they talk to more colleagues.
Then they all realise something has to change.
Then they realise they hold all the power, they just need to use it.
They use it.
They keep going.
They win.
