have period products and sanitary items to be free

What the petition asks

have more funding or cheaper prices for them as not everyone can afford it or to make them free and have them sent to houses
because we didn’t ask to be women and it is unfair that we have to spend around £15 a months just because we are women

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government is not responsible for the price of sanitary products, but we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
