Free menstrual products in Zoetermeer: ​​you will find distribution points here in the city

Zoetermeerders help Zoetermeerders! This can be seen in the free menstrual products that are distributed in various places. These products are especially for people who have to deal with menstrual poverty.

The locations are also known as Menstrual Products Distribution Points (MUPs). It is an initiative of the Poverty Fund. According to the organization, almost 20,000 people in the Netherlands have no money for tampons and sanitary towels. “These hygiene products are not a luxury, but should be available to everyone,” the Poverty Fund writes about this.

Menstrual discharge points

There are 236 MUPs in the Netherlands that are known to the Poverty Fund. The actual number may be slightly higher, if, for example, a person from Zoetermeer decides to place a cupboard in the garden with such products.
