I want free sanitary towels for girls under the age of 18.
Women all around the world do not have the money to buy necessities. Sanitary towels is one of them. Girls every month cannot buy these necessities or simply just don't have access to them. This can be unhygienic and can be quite embarrassing.
Condoms, on the other hand are free. This is a luxury not a necessity.
Condoms can be given out to someone because they are sexually active but sanitary towels aren't. I think this is wrong!
A girl cannot help getting her period it is just mother nature. If they cannot afford sanitary towels a lot of girls tend to miss schools. If this is having an impact on their education then this is something that needs to be resolves. This is because this is economic discrimination.
