Submission Documents: By Councillor Jennifer Layden:- "Council welcomes the recent commitment by Scottish Government and the Private members Bill to tackle period poverty through the free provision of sanitary products in educational establishments and notes that Scotland is already one of the first countries in the world to tackle 'period poverty' through a pilot scheme in Aberdeen and applauds the extension of this. Council recognises however that whilst many women and girls will benefit from this, others in vulnerable situations, may not. Glasgow City Council therefore instructs the City Convener for Equalities and Human Rights along with the City Treasurer to work with the Scottish Government and women and girls groups, to develop and implement an action plan to introduce free sanitary products in schools in Glasgow; and to scope out extending access to others."
