Scottish group scraps period dignity role after abuse for hiring man

Jason Grant's appointment as Tay region's period dignity lead had prompted anger on social media

A new regional role promoting period dignity across Tayside has been scrapped after the group involved received threats and abuse for appointing a man.

Last month, Jason Grant was announced as the period dignity regional lead officer for the Tay region in what was believed to be the first role of its kind in Scotland and the result of Holyrood's groundbreaking women's health legislation.
