Make all period products free for all women

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make every possible product period related, free for consumption. As having a period is not a choice.

As a man, I can access condoms for free, despite being able to choose to not have sex. Women can't choose to not have periods, therefore, help and products to help them should not be charged. It is unfair they must have an extra mandatory payment in their life, to exist more 'comfortably' solely because they are women. Period products are not a luxury, they should be seen as a living need, so provided for free. So nobody goes without access.
