Make sanitary towels available without a fee to all menstruating age females ,as it is an expense that many simply cannot afford and they have no choice because it occurs to them.
More details
People who are not financially well off or who have Menorrhaggia have to buy these products which they have no choice in because it happens to us. Causing people to make decisions about buying them or food or paying bills. It is unfair to charge expensive ££ to females who have little money or who suffer with low self esteem mental health or suffering painful periods due to health problems which they have no control over. With many companies charging high prices they have to find the money for.
