To eradicate period poverty by making sanitary products free to all

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to eradicate period poverty by making sanitary towels free to all women within UK

I would like the Government to do this as women are stealing sanitary towels off the supermarket shelves as they cannot afford them in this cost of living crisis and women are getting paid less than men. Period chose us and we did not choose to have periods as women.
