Tim Walz's Menstrual Product Law Ignites Debate on Period Poverty

Minnesota's legislation mandates free menstrual supplies in schools, sparking discussions on gender inclusivity and access to basic needs.

The law requires free menstrual products for all students in grades 4 to 12, using gender-neutral language.
Critics falsely claim it mandates tampons in boys' bathrooms, fueling cultural debates.
Supporters argue the law addresses period poverty and promotes educational equity.
The nickname 'Tampon Tim' has been used both as an insult and a badge of honor.
Other states and countries are also addressing period poverty through similar legislation.
