Rejected petition Make tampons, pads, and other essential feminine products free for consumers.

It is unfair that women, especially those in financial struggle, must pay for the fundamental necessity of pads or tampons. To charge people for such a basic need is like charging them for being female.
The government should consider reducing the tax on these products, if not making them free.
