Make women’s products(tampons and pads) free for everyone

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like you to make tampons and pads free in all shops, pharmacy’s, schools, colleges, workplaces, condoms are free, SEX IS A CHOICE MENSTRUATION IS NOT!
Because women can’t help a natural menstrual cycle, some people may be homeless, not earn a lot of money to afford them or some girls may live in a single parent household with just a dad and feel uncomfortable asking, I think it is unfair we should have to pay for things we can’t help happening to our bodies! You give out free condoms sex is a choice! Menstruation is not!
