Rid the Uk of period poverty and allow free access to female hygiene products.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Follow in the footsteps of the Scottish government and make female hygiene products free and accessible to those who need them.

Period poverty is a huge issue in the uk as a whole and that needs to change. Many households who struggle with money, struggle to afford female hygiene products. Make them a human right to be free. Periods should not be capitalised on.
