Rejected petition Remove the 5% tax and reduce the costs on all sanitary products.

Currently there is a 5% tax on all sanitary products. There are 1 in 4 girls and women who cannot afford sanitary products. This needs to change. Sanitary products should be accessible and affordable to every single girl and women in this country and such a necessity should not be taxed.
