Joney Faragher to request leave to introduce Private Members Bill
An MHK has outlined plans to secure the provision of free period products on the Island.
In the House of Keys next week, Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher will request leave to introduce a Private Members' Bill on the matter.
Earlier this year she backed a campaign by the group Manx Menstrual Movement which hopes, like Scotland, to make period products freely available to anyone who needs them.
Ms Faragher she wants it to address period poverty in two ways:
Isle of Man Medical Society welcomes health review, saying it's 'time to listen to doctors'
MHK: Minister should resign if he disagrees with minimum wage policy
Manx farmer 'delighted' but aware 'far from out of the woods'
Charity appealing for public to donate toys
