Rejected petition Abolish the 'tampon tax'.

The 'tampon tax' is an extra tax added onto all of women's sanitary products, because they are considered a luxury. This is not true: they are necessary for women to get through their periods, and a tax added onto them make them less accessible for girls and women from less fortunate backgrounds.

More details

They are everyday products - which in order to be accessible as an everyday item is - need to be sans the 'tampon tax'.
