A teenage pupil has opened up saying that girls are being "stripped of their dignity" after being forced to request sanitary products from the school' s reception.
Zara Stuart, 14, a student at Woodfarm High in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, has told how she and other young females were left feeling upset and embarrassed for not being able to easily access the items.
She said they feel ashamed for having to walk a lengthy amount of time back and forth - while bleeding - to request products from the school office, report Daily Record.
She went on to say that she was left mortified after her period arrived early during a lesson, and became panicked that blood would show on her uniform, before she could access an open toilet that supplied pads.
