Access to Sanitary Products Aberdeen Pilot: Evaluation Report

This document describes an evaluation of the Access to Sanitary Products Aberdeen Pilot, which aimed to improve access to sanitary products for those in need, focusing on low-income households and educational institutions. The evaluation used questionnaires, interviews, and data collection to assess the program's effectiveness, revealing that affordability was the primary barrier to access. The pilot provided products through various methods, emphasizing dignity and choice, and had a positive impact by reducing financial stress related to menstruation. Challenges included reaching a broader audience, combating stigma, and ensuring sustainable provision. The evaluation recommends further research to optimize delivery methods and address period poverty and menstrual health as human rights issues. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
