In the city of Salzburg, free sanitary towels are only available after the payment turnstile

Date:

A city pilot project, which ‘Krone’ reported, aims to make tampons and sanitary towels accessible to everyone. However, you can only get the free hygiene products for women in the city of Salzburg if you pay 50 cents in advance.

The city of Salzburg has started an experiment with the public toilet on Hanuschplatz: it provides free hygiene products for women in two vending machines. Councilor Anna Schiester (Citizen List/Greens) and municipal councilor Nevin Öztürk (Neos) initiated the project. For some women, the inevitable purchase of sanitary pads and tampons can be a financial burden. However, the free hygiene facilities are only free in theory. Because: At the entrance to the women’s area there was a vending machine behind a payment tree. The second is in the barrier-free toilet, which can only be opened with a key.

“First step important”
If women want to go to the toilet to get the free sanitary towels and tampons, they have to pay 50 cents at the entrance. In the city of Salzburg it is common for women to go to the public toilet. “It is important that a first step has been taken and that an attempt is being made,” says councilor Schiester in response to the criticism. More locations for free products to follow.

However, for men, going to the urinal is still free in most public toilets in the city. You will only be charged for the use of the cabins. Not so at Hanuschplatz and in Philharmoniker-Gasse. There is also a payment turnstile in front of the toilet entrance. Men have to pay, regardless of whether the company is big or small.
