Ban taxes on women's sanitary products & make them free for people on low income

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Rhianna Malone's Facebook status states how much money women are spending per year because they have to, not because they want to. Sanitary products are something that women NEED, they are not a 'luxury' item. Tampons & pads should be organic as they contain unnecessary, dangerous ingredients.
