What the petition asks
Change UK law to make it a legal requirement for businesses, public places and all social places with female, MALE and unisex restrooms to provide a safe and hygienic means for the disposal of sanitary waste to prevent environmental harm and maintain public health and hygiene standards.
Following treatments relating to the removal of prostate cancers from men, the side effects can be very catastrophic and debilitating. We believe there is not enough emphasis, knowledge or awareness as to the requirements needed for men coping with their need to use sanitary products and the difficulty of disposal when facilities are not available.
