Rejected petition Make period products free in the UK
Rejected on
I would like women and girls in the UK to be offered free period products in all bathrooms.
1 in 10 women are unable to afford period protection and are forced to improvise with devices that are unsafe/unhygienic. Scotland has already taken action and made period products free, and this easily solved issue is being ignored in the UK.
