This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Make all period products free for all women
Make every possible product period related, free for consumption. As having a period is not a choice.
More details
As a man, I can access condoms for free, despite being able to choose to not have sex. Women can't choose to not have periods, therefore, help and products to help them should not be charged. It is unfair they must have an extra mandatory payment in their life, to exist more 'comfortably' solely because they are women. Period products are not a luxury, they should be seen as a living need, so provided for free. So nobody goes without access.
