Remember the launch with much fanfare of the "free period products for schools " scheme in January.
Take up by schools has been low.
Perhaps because they've had other things on their mind, but perhaps because it wasnt backed by strong evidence of demand in the first place

Central government distributing products that are cheap and widely available.
What for?
Most schools already keep some on hand for girls caught short
While pupils experiencing neglect and extreme poverty need multidimensional support, not just a single product.

The scheme put big emphasis on changing language.... 
They really dont like saying "female pupils" or girls, (or sex)
Or the idea of female students having straightforward female toilets
This reflects the preoccupation of the period poverty campaigns - who wrote to JKR in June to tell her to educate herself that "gender non conforming" females also menstruate

All of this is very small beans overall, and obviously so given the current challenges the country faces - but that was always the case with this: Do something low cost and feel good, and tick "womens issues" off the list, while also advancing the political erasure of sex.
The flavour - of- month meanwhile has moved on to online harassment of women and girls (as a gender, not a sex, remember sex has nothing to do with anything and you must not talk about it)
