Fund access to free period products for homeless people

What the petition asks
We want the Government to ensure all homeless people who menstruate have access to free sanitary products. We want the Government to achieve this by providing funds to make these products available at every homeless shelter and pharmacy.
We believe not having access to period products breaches a host of human rights such as, the right to dignity, the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to sanitation and the right to health. It is not acceptable that people have to choose between food and sanitary products and it must be addressed now.
