On February 26th, 2020, Scotland became the first country to make Menstruation Hygiene Products free and accessible to all women. They should be free everywhere regardless.

We Need To Menstruation Hygiene Products be Made Free

In a world of capitalism, we see so many companies rip off customers by price gouging and bootlegging products that should be accessible. Many of these products don't cost a fraction of the cost you spend on buying it as a consumer.

Feminine Menstruation Products have been in the hot spot of overpricing for decades and we as women need to push and start a fight and put an end to the overpricing of these products. Many women cannot even afford to buy good quality products because they sell a low quantity in the box for a high price.

These products are essential, and the lack of sanitization leads to a spread of bacteria that can harm others. The lack of accessibility of these products makes it all the worst. We need to see change and put a stop to capitalism and sexism in the process.

Scotland was named the first country to make them free but we should be seeing this law placed in countries with high poverty rates and the millions of Americans who can't afford the products is what makes the issue worse.

No excuses make feminine hygiene products free and accessible for everyone. Take off the price tag and make them accessible.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
