CNN
A local council in Scotland has come in for criticism after it appointed a man to the role of period dignity officer, responsible for coordinating its response to a new law that makes menstrual products free to access in the country.
A group of colleges and local councils in Tay region in eastern Scotland announced the appointment of Jason Grant, who previously worked as a student wellbeing officer at a local college, to the role on Thursday.
However, critics argue that a woman would have been better suited to the job.
