Fund free sanitary products for homeless women

Closed 282 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to fund free sanitary products for menstruation free for homeless women. This means that women who are homeless should be given access to free products, distributed on streets and in homeless shelters.
These items are not optional or luxury items. They are a necessity and women cannot live comfortably without them. There are many cases where women are stealing these items and providing them for free should reduce crime and the criminalisation of women.
