The State should initiate a programme to provide free sanitary pads to women countrywide just as it does with condoms in public places and bars.
Bar Hostess Empowerment and Support Programme (BHESP) Executive Director Peninah Mwangi has accused the government of taking too long to launch the free sanitary pads programme for girls and women. With over 20,000 members in Nairobi alone, Mwangi said research findings indicate access to sanitary pads is first in the priority list of vulnerable girls, including sex workers.
