Many companies are beginning to recognize the importance of supporting the menstrual well-being of their female employees by providing free menstrual products. This emerging practice not only helps reduce employees' personal costs, but also promotes a corporate culture focused on inclusion, dignity, and equality. There are several reasons that justify this initiative and, moreover, some political parties even demand that public institutions pay the bill to provide free menstrual products.
Why offer free menstrual products?
Providing free menstrual products helps reduce economic inequalities and promotes equitable access to essential everyday items. For many people, menstrual products are a significant financial expense, and lack of access can lead to economic and social hardship. By offering free menstrual products, companies ease the financial burden on employees, support menstrual health, and contribute to overall well-being. It's a statement against inequalities within their companies or institutions and a modern approach to human resources needs. Your HR will thank you!
Offering free... and sustainable? menstrual products
Subsidy for menstrual products (not free, but almost!)
Although we all dream of a world of free products, the fact remains that for small businesses it can be difficult to fulfill every wish. It's therefore worth noting that several subsidies in Québec are currently available for the purchase of reusable menstrual products. A woman who wishes to obtain menstrual protection can do so at a reduced cost in several cities across Québec. See the available grants in your area!
