Petition · past parliament

Make women’s sanitary products free

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Women shouldn’t have to pay to get items such as pads or tampons etc. As we didn’t chose to be female and they are all way too expensive. Especially in the time of corona as certain people don’t have a lot of money.
Women didn’t chose to bleed for up to a week straight so why should we have to pay for it too?

Why it was rejected
