From the article: "The Trump administration has revoked a $600,000 federal grant awarded to Southern University Agricultural and Mechanical College after conservative activists falsely claimed it was funding research on “menstrual cycles in transgender men.” The decision comes amid the administration’s broader crackdown on programs acknowledging transgender and nonbinary people."

#Spain has introduced a number of improvements to women’s #HealthCare. Changes to #AbortionRights enable 16/17yos to undergo an abortion without parental consent. #PeriodProducts will be offered free in schools and prisons, while state-run health centers will do the same with hormonal #contraceptives and the morning after pill. And #MenstrualLeave measure allows workers suffering debilitating period pain to take paid time off. Not everything is going to hell. #FeministFriday #IreneMontero
New research shows at least 80% of savings from the #TamponTax ending have been retained by retailers; the price of #PeriodProducts has failed to fall with the removal of the tax.
Please consider signing this change.org petition calling on retailers to lower the prices of their period products to reflect the abolition of tampon tax and pass on the benefit to customers.
