Rejected petition To eradicate period poverty by making sanitary products free to all

I would like the Government to eradicate period poverty by making sanitary towels free to all women within UK

More details

I would like the Government to do this as women are stealing sanitary towels off the supermarket shelves as they cannot afford them in this cost of living crisis and women are getting paid less than men. Period chose us and we did not choose to have periods as women.
