Rejected petition Sanitary products made free to buy

I want the government to Make period products such as tampons and pads free to buy in shops.

More details

Many people in poverty do not have the money to buy the basic necessities. Periods are not an optional thing. It’s a need for everyone. Leaving people without period products is leading people to gain infections and having to resort to the worst things instead of period products. Why are we letting brands profit of something women and young girls need.
