Fund free period pads

What the petition asks
We urge the Government to provide funding to ensure that period pads are free in England.
Periods are a normal part of a woman's lives, and not all people can afford period pads or the basic tools that they may need to assist them with something that is out of their control. In Scotland, period products can be accessed free of charge, and we believe this shows that other countries have thought about this topic and decided that it is a good idea. We believe this policy change should be fulfilled.
