  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 11 December 2018
  • Motion reference: S5M-15114

That the Parliament congratulates the campaign group, On the Ball, on convincing over 50 football clubs to provide free period products to their fans; commends football fans, Erin Slaven, Mikaela McKinley and Orlaith Duffy on their hard work and dedication, and for encouraging both their own club, Celtic, to be the first club in the UK to provide free period products, and over 50 other clubs since the first announcement to take similar action; believes that menstruation should never be a barrier to anyone from participating in football or supporting their team; welcomes all activism that supports free universal provision of period products, and recognises that access to period products should be a right for all, regardless of income.
