Open Fund free female sanitary products for all women and girls

Created by Jamie-leigh purdon

I would the government or parliament to help get female sanitary products free for all women and girls. One in 10 young women has been unable to afford sanitary wear at some point.

According to a study by Plan International UK, one in 10 girls and young women aged 14-21 has been unable to afford sanitary wear at some point. This situation exacerbates the issues surrounding period poverty, leading to negative impacts on women’s health, education, and emotional well-being.
