#Spain has introduced a number of improvements to women’s #HealthCare. Changes to #AbortionRights enable 16/17yos to undergo an abortion without parental consent. #PeriodProducts will be offered free in schools and prisons, while state-run health centers will do the same with hormonal #contraceptives and the morning after pill. And #MenstrualLeave measure allows workers suffering debilitating period pain to take paid time off. Not everything is going to hell. #FeministFriday #IreneMontero

IDK.... #period #camgirlproblems #softdisk #periodproducts #menstruation
