Nearly 95,000 girls in the country aged nine to 18 are thought to stay home from school during their periods due to not being able to afford pads and tampons, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a statement. "By making them freely available, we support these young people to continue learning at school," Ardern said.The New Zealand government is investing NZ$2.
Unable to afford or access sanitary products or manage basic menstrual hygiene, girls across the world instead resort to using rags, old clothes, newspapers, hay, sand, or even ash, according to Unicef and other aid organizations.

Congratulation Jacinda PM of New Zealand
I can't believe U still have lie that Trump said George Floyd is looking down & saying good job about +jobs & decreased unemployment. If I was Trump I would sue your asses off for this. People have watched it now. Here's Proof CNN is lying:
Does sanitary products help to control poverty?
Hopefully environmentally friendly products. 🙏
New Zealand is winning 2020
Well done New Zealand. I’m Australia we still pay GST on our product as they are classified as nonessential. 😫

It's great New Zealand is following Scotland's lead. Other countries should do the same.

Tiny country.
By free you mean paid by tax refunds in form of sanitary
Their PM is a Queen
More proof the KKK is in full force in 2020: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EDUCATE YOURSELF WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY:
What real leadership looks like...
I want to live in New Zealand
For boys AND girls I presume. Still, I'd have no qualms for a similar scheme in Aust.
Does she have an agenda for the growing toe fungus situation? It time for free foot powder for EVERYONE !
One of the best leaders✊🏿...🥰
She is a very highly respected leader and NZ was one of the top countries in the world to slow down the covid spread...plus stricter gun laws after they had a mass shooting few yrs back..🇨🇦🇺🇸
That's great - now remove tax from fresh food.
Geez... I can't believe we are at the same planet. Is this real? Cause here we have a eugenist genocide doing exactly the extreme opposite... 😮
Real leadership
Yeah, OK, who cares?
Wet face
Nice one, NZ. Does Jacinda want to come and be PM of the UK next? 🤔
If she had ran for president in the US, what do you think her chances would be?
Ya’ll accepting transfers right now? I’d be down to come on over 😃. Please....
Oh how the Democratic Party loves to commercialise US education system. Sick.
Brrrrrravooooooo! This woman needs an award for worlds best leader.
Great leadership 👍
Children in schools should be educated on the subject of RACISM. NEW GENERATIONS with moral values
I guess one could say toilet paper alleviates poop poverty?
Can we borrow her from say now to January 20th?
Lmao, what?!?
Okay.... this woman is just showing off now. Seriously though, she is showing the world what a real leader looks like. Love it.
Period poverty...really? I guess you can make $hit up after all. You guys are pro’s at it!
If New Zealand can do it, so can the US. TimeToBox 🙌
Does that include birth control as in stop letting yourself get pregnant. No baby should die.
Horseface jacindaardern is a little tyrant 😂. Works hard on her image. But ZeroSubstancePM JacindaArdern
Pad is more important for girls than food for poor kids
CNN attempting to go for the award of the dumbest media outlet...
Actually, it has nothing to do with charity and everything to do with Eugenics. Look up 'New Order of the Barbarians'.
It is not free is payed through taxes.
New Zealand is allways talking about being so progressive yet... They're just NOW handing out tampons and pads? Wow.
Do guys have to pay for this?
Good news for New Zealand
We do this in Australia, but it’s often bought out of the deputy or a teachers budget. Must suggest this to Scott.
I salute u Honorable Jacinda Ardern, for all ur good gesture,u r a hero and inspiration for the world leaders,if other leaders of the world follow ur policies,then world will be a better place to live in peace and love and harmony,God bless U, and all newzelanders.
Keep going ComradeJacinda, this is only highlighting your incompetence. If your priorities are late-term baby-murder and free tampons, over reducing NZ's youth suicide rate and out of control homelessness. Then we all know just how useless you are. BTW: Fake polls don't work.
Once again Ardern follows and not leads Fake News CNN
Am so proud of u as a woman that understand what women go through during menstrual period. How many women in power under understand this? None except U. How many First Ladies understand this? None except u.Only true mothers understand a girl child 👶.Thank U.
She is all talk and no action. She is a show pony, a fake and a liar.
To all these dribbly commentators on this thread. Live in my country and experience the Ardern regime and her total inexperience in politics. You have no idea at how poorly she is running my country. A country cannot run on hugs and Hijabs it runs on experience of which she lacks
Quick do something! NYPD mayor might get his cut and blame the poor!
All the problems in NZ and this is her agenda Seems odd to everyone
We need to do the same thing with folks finding it difficult to afford urinary incontinence products.
Leading. Again.
I honestly think the reason so many people begin to oppose things like this is because we go and give legitimate issues very hateable names.
Please replace the US President
All 7 of them? 😂
I was told that the virus doesn't exist there anymore.
Awesome. The US cannot even provide free school books.
could Jacinda Ardern get any cooler?..awesome leader..
Wow!!!!!! This is so important! It’s ridiculous that people didn’t think to do this sooner. It’s great to have a woman in power. She’s also done wonders in the DV sector.
This is the new leader of the free world.
Wow.. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Following Scotlands lead.
