Periods are unavoidable, and lack of access to sanitary products in public toilets can cause distress, missed education or work, and health risks.\r\n\r\nToilet paper is provided free in public toilets because it is necessary for basic bodily functions. Sanitary products serve the same purpose and should be treated equally.\r\n\r\nScotland has already made period products free by law, demonstrating that this policy is practical and effective. However, access across the rest of the UK remains inconsistent.\r\n\r\nMaking sanitary products freely available in all public toilets would reduce period poverty, improve public health, and promote dignity and equality.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-01-03T00:01:56.616Z","updated_at":"2026-02-03T14:49:06.649Z","rejected_at":"2026-02-03T14:49:04.126Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-01-03T00:33:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"This is a duplicate petition of this one which you may wish to sign instead: \r\n\r\nFund free female sanitary products in Public Restrooms\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/741219"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
