What the petition asks

Recently Scotland decided to make period products for free. And as a country we should follow suite as it is a human need
Scotland has become the First Nation to provide free period products. Many people around the world struggle to buy products for a process which they cannot control. Period products are a human necessity and it shouldn’t be something people should have to pay for or even creating worry over not having enough money. This is a human need why should we have to pay for it.
