Stop VAT on tampons and sanitary products...they are a necessity not a luxury!
It is the case that women have to pay an additional tax for being born a female. Having a menstrual cycle as a female is not a choice, yet whilst menstruating, for hygienic purposes women have to use tampons or sanitary towels to prevent the leakage of blood, and pay Vat to use these products.
