Provide free reusable menstrual products at secondary schools.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Various polls from 2017-2018 have found 10-27% of women experience period poverty, causing them to miss school or work. Disposable mentrual products cause increased landfill and sanitation waste. Providing free reusable products at school age will reduce period poverty and reduce landfill waste.
