Abolish the charge on sanitary products

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want to be able to access free sanitary products in schools, workplaces, and day out places. Everywhere. This is something we need your help with

Having a period is not a choice but women and girls everywhere are expected to be able to pay for the products. Now we understand that with covid and such things in the world right now money goes elsewhere. But women and girls need these products now. It won't stop, or ease. There's so many people who cannot afford the price of period products let alone the amount they may need them. If you have menstrual issues etc it can succeed £100 every 6 months.
