Make menstrual products free in England

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We are an NCS team working to combat period poverty. We believe that period products should be free for everyone as periods are not a choice and many struggle with affording menstrual products or do not have access to them
Women in the UK spend as much as £15,738 due to their periods throughout their lives.
