Remove tax on all feminine hygiene products such as sanitary towels and tampons.
Feminine hygiene products are taxed as luxuries despite them being necessary for good personal hygiene. Taxes on such items have caused many people who menstruate to miss work or school due to embarrassment of not being able to afford these products. The homeless have to improvise using socks etc.
