Zara Stuart, 14, has told how girls are being left mortified in case they bleed through their school uniforms
A pupil at a Scots secondary school says girls have been 'stripped of their dignity' after being left unable to easily access sanitary products.
Zara told the Daily Record she was mortified when she realised that her period arrived early during a lesson and that she became panicked that blood would show on her clothes before she could access an open toilet that supplied pads. Top news stories today Zara's ordeal comes after a set of toilets that supplied menstrual goods were shut by staff after an incident involving vandalism in the boys' loos. The teen says it has become difficult to access pads or tampons since their closure at the start of term.
She added: "I felt that running this petition was the only way to get them to listen to us. I know other girls are embarrassed - my friends have been in a similar situation and it's mortifying. Zara's mum Laura Docherty, 49, added: “I am supporting Zara because I stand with her and I do not believe young women should be asking school staff for sanitary products in this day in age.“I send my kids to school to be educated and to be nurtured and I do not feel that is happening.”
Commenting on the matter, Monica Lennon said: "Limiting access to school toilets puts the health, wellbeing and dignity of children and young people at risk. All schools should have a good understanding of pupils’ health needs, including those who are menstruating or have bowel or bladder conditions.
