Access to free products is inconsistent, with many public toilets still charging per single item. This can mean missed work, sport and education. Legislation is needed to ensure free standard menstrual products in public spaces.","additional_details":"Scotland has introduced nationwide provision under the Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act 2021. In England and Wales, provision is patchy and varies widely between schools, workplaces and other public venues (shopping centres, airports etc.). A national requirement would reduce inequality, support participation in work and sport, and ensure no one is excluded from public life due to menstruation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2026-02-16T14:10:10.675Z","updated_at":"2026-03-16T11:23:49.311Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-16T11:23:42.016Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-16T14:48:40.000Z","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":"You may wish to sign the following petitions, which call for similar action:\r\n\r\nFund free female sanitary products in Public Restrooms\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/741219\r\n\r\nFund free female sanitary products for all women and girls\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/756958"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
