With a total of five self-service machines at the Saarbrücken and Homburg campuses, Saarland University is - as in France - setting an example against "period poverty" and thus also further initiating the process of de-tabooising the topic of menstruation. The vending machines are freely accessible - one of them hangs in the vestibule of the toilet area of the central library. 
 On Tuesday, 26.10.2021, from 11.30 a.m. - 2 p.m., there will be a kick-off event in the refectories at the Saarbrücken and Homburg campuses, where menstruation cups will also be distributed free of charge as a sustainable option.
