俄亥俄州颁布了一项法律,要求州监狱向被监禁妇女提供免费期产品,使其成为美国第一个禁止以拒绝供应作为惩罚或歧视的州。 Ohio has enacted a law requiring state prisons to provide free period products to incarcerated women, making it the first U.S. state to prohibit denying supplies as punishment or discrimination. 法律、第29号众议院法案规定,在月经期间,必须配备处置容器和至少每天一次淋浴。 The law, House Bill 29, mandates disposal containers and at least one daily shower during menstruation. 其驱动力来自Dianira Garcia等前被监禁妇女的倡导,Dianira Garcia描述了严重的健康问题和由于供应不足而推迟的医疗服务。 It was driven by advocacy from formerly incarcerated women like Dianira Garcia, who described severe health issues and delayed medical care due to inadequate supplies. 该措施旨在确保尊严、健康和成功重返社会,与大约一半的美国州一起采取类似政策。 The measure aims to ensure dignity, health, and successful reintegration, joining about half of U.S. states with similar policies.
