There are no legal requirements for employers to provide sanitary products. Government needs to change it's health and safety legislation to ensure that women have access to products when required.
Other petitions have requested free products, or time away from work. This petition is asking the Government to ensure that all companies who provide toilets and employ women to provide access to sanitary products in the workplace.
