Petition · past parliament

Install free/low costing period vending machines all over the UK

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Install period vending machines that distribute free/low costing sanitary products in all areas especially low income places.
Period Poverty is an uprising issue in the UK which could be easily reduced by installing these machines everywhere in the UK. This can also help reduce the stigma and shame behind periods and empower women.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government isn't directly responsible for the provision or sale of sanitary products. You may wish to sign this petition:
