A pupil removes a free organic sanitary napkin from a dispenser at a high school in Meaux, east of Paris, France, on January 7, 2021. The Ile-de-France region installed free sanitary napkin dispensers in 31 high schools on an experimental basis in the last quarter of 2020, to fight against "menstrual precariousness."
