Make women’s hygiene products, eg tampons and pads, free

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to consider making women’s hygiene products free everywhere. In my opinion, women should not have to pay for something that their body cannot control doing.

I want the government to do this because women should not have to pay for pads and tampons every month when they can’t control what their body does. There’s a lot of medication out there for people that they get for free due to certain health conditions. Therefore I think women’s products should be free as we can’t help what happens to us every month.
