It has been free for all Scottish women since January 2021.” Marguerite and company has already installed 900 of these dispensers. “These are free distributors found in high schools, universities, but also in companies and then in a hundred cities in France, small or large cities”, explains Gaëlle Le Noane, who set up his business with 4,500 euros of share capital.
