Rejected petition For all sanitary products to be free and accessible to all

To make sure that all women in the United Kingdom has access to free sanitary products including pads, tampons, ect. at any and all times. It isn't fair for us to have to pay for them, and what we need to think about is how this would affect those who can not afford to pay for these things.

More details

Because it's outrageous to me, as a Cis Woman, that we women have to pay for sanitary products, when it is a natural part of our bodies that we bleed. I think, as, not only a Cis Woman, but as a citizen of the United Kingdom, that we should really tackle this problem. It is a natural part of a woman's body, and therefore sanitary products should be free
