Amika George, an activist who founded the #FreePeriods campaign, shares her worries about the police and crime bill. She started her non-profit campaign group in 2017 and two years later got the government to commit to funding period products in every state school and college in England. Guardian reporter Damien Gayle explains what is behind the government"s police and crime bill and what it could mean for protesting. On Monday night, the House of Lords voted down proposed changes in the law that would give more powers to police over the way they treat protests. Sections of the bill have been condemned by human rights activists as a ‘vitriolic attack’ on the right to protest, freedoms to show dissatisfaction or to call for change. This week, activists and protesters across the UK have taken to the streets rallying against a bill that would limit their rights to protest and give tougher sentences to those who break the rules
