Reduce tax on women's sanitary products
Rejected

What the petition asks
Women's sanitary products are currently being classed as "luxury items", implying that they are not necessities, and therefore are taxed. This is unfair to women as it is not a luxury for women to have products essential during menstruation.
Why it was rejected
