Rejected petition Make feminine hygiene products free for girls who are under 18 years of age.

News stories describe girls who have missed school as a direct result of poor access to feminine hygiene products. This has a negative impact on their education. We ask that the government provide vouchers to school girls which can be exchanged at chemist shops for tampons and towels etc.
