Jalandhar: The Khalsa Academy, a secondary school in Wolverhampton, UK, has decided to provide free menstrual products to all in their schools. Working with the award-winning period charity Binti International, the school now provides free period products to pupils, staff and visitors to the school.
Binti is the first period in the UK and India to work on the idea of helping women menstruate with dignity. Its founder Manjit Kaur Gill has said that Khalsa Academy has become first school in the UK, possibly globally also, to provide free menstrual products to all coming to the school.
“As educationalists we have the opportunity to make a real change at the grassroots level and we are extremely grateful to be a part of Binti’s Dignity at work campaign. We already work with Binti to provide menstrual education to our children,” said academy principal Anita Kaur Notta.
