Rejected petition Make sanitary provisions free for people on free school meals.

More than 137,700 girls in the UK missed school in 2017 because they can’t afford sanitary products. Everyone has the right to an education and we believe that by making sanitary provisions free for girls on free school meals will help get girls back into a full time education.
