France will reimburse the cost of reusable menstruation products for women under 25 years of age from 2024, a measure designed to combat the precariousness of young people in the run-up to the International Women’s Day (March 8).
The initiative was announced this Monday by the French Prime Minister, Elisabeth Bornein an interview on the television channel French 5 in which he considered “unthinkable” that there are people in France who cannot have access to this type of basic items.
“We are going to implement a refund of the Social Security for protections for the reusable period from 2024 for all young women under 25 years of age”stated the policy.
The price refund will only affect those products purchased in a pharmacy, but no prescription or medical order will be required.
In 2021, France had already launched the free distribution of this type of hygiene items in universities and student residences.
