Rejected petition Free sanitary protection for women

More details

Women shouldn't have to pay for sanitary towels and tampons as its not a woman's fault we have periods, it costs a tidy fortune every time we need packet of towels/tampons, especially if its a heavy session.
I think the government spend loads on free contraception, which is a choice, a period isn't
I'm fed up of funding companies because women bleed
