With legislative approval in 2020, Scotland became the first country to offer period products for free, perNPR.
Overall, it impacts 500 million people worldwide.
Currently there are 22 states that charge sales tax on period products, according toAlliance for Period Supplies.
The states left off the CVS list are because of legal barriers regarding third-party tax payers.
CVS also noted they’re eliminating the “pink tax” in their stores, according to Fortune Well.
