A NON-PROFIT organisation in Blaenau Gwent is raising awareness around how to get free sanitary products. Today, Friday, is Menstrual Hygiene Day, and as part of the event, the Rotary Club of Abertillery and Blaina are raising awareness of the fact that there are people in Blaenau Gwent who do not have access to sanitary products. A report carried out by Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council in 2019 found 39 per cent of people in the area did not have access to vital products, 25 per cent either could not afford them or had gone without, and 37 per cent said they had missed work due to their period.
