What the petition asks
Provide free menstruation products for people in Britain.
Period poverty is still relevant today. 1 in 8 people cannot afford product’s, this causes days off of school and work. Period products were not seen as a necessity during the pandemic but they should be.
Prime minister, Rishi Sunak, wants maths to be compulsory till the B3 of eighteen. He says "Letting our children out into the world without those skills is letting our children down."
Surely girls missing school because of something they can’t control is already them being let down?
