Provide free sanitary products to shops for the homeless community.

What the petition asks
The government should fund shops such as Morrisons, Tescos, Boots, Superdrug etc to give free sanitary products to homeless people so they have access to tampons, pads and menstrual cups. They should have whatever type they desire. Long pads, short pads, non-applicator tampons, scented products etc.
We want the Government to do this so that the homeless women community have good hygiene and are safe with their periods. Adequate sanitary products will improve their wellbeing, and make their comfort a priority rather than a luxury.
