Make all sanitary products free for women
Rejected

What the petition asks
Why should we have to pay for something that we didn’t ask for? People have side effects from contraception which leads them to have uncontrollable bleeding or spotting for days/weeks so they’re forced to buy multiple packs of products which people can’t afford
Women are being held back from having access to something they need purely because they can’t afford it. People having to use tissue as a pad should never be an option.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
