Rejected petition Make Period and Hygiene products free for all

The government can make free period products a reality by passing a national law, funding distribution, working with schools and local councils, raising awareness, and ensuring products are safe, sustainable, and widely available.

More details

Making period products free would reduce inequality, improve public health, support education and employment, and treat menstruation as the normal, unavoidable part of life that it is — not a financial burden.
