Period poverty: School girls offered free menstrual products
经期贫困：给在校生免费提供经期用品

Campaigners have long called for the government to help women and girls stuck in so-called 'period poverty'. Research by the PHS Group, which will supply the sanitary products, found that more than half of teenage girls in school or college were missing lessons because of their period, while nearly a third said that either they, or someone they knew, had been impacted by period poverty.

倡议者一直呼吁政府来帮助妇女和女孩们摆脱所谓的 “经期贫困”。PHS（Personnel Hygiene Services Limited 个人卫生服务有限公司）的研究发现，超过一半的在校女生会因经期问题缺课。同时，近三分之一的人表示，她们或她们认识的人曾受到经期贫困的影响。PHS公司是将为学校提供卫生用品的供应商。

Under the new scheme, pupils in over 20,000 schools will be able to access sanitary products free of charge, and staff will be able to order more online when they're needed.

根据这项新计划，两万多所学校的学生将能够免费使用卫生用品。学校工作人员将能够在网上按需订购卫生用品。

In Scotland, four million pounds is being spent on a similar initiative launched last year. And in Wales, three million pounds was announced earlier this month to supply girls in primary and secondary schools with sanitary products.

在苏格兰，400万英镑的经费在支持去年启动的一项类似计划。威尔士在本月早些时候宣布将投入300万英镑为中小学女生提供卫生用品。
