Free Menstrual Products at MCB FacilitiesWiM views menstrual products as a form of health care—and because USC provides health care coverage to its graduate students, postdocs, professors and staff, we asked the Department of Molecular and Computational Biology to fund WiM to stock all women and gender neutral restrooms in the Department's buildings with free menstrual products.
