Make period pads and tampons free for women
PERIODS ARE NOT A CHOICE!
Why should women have to pay for something that they haven't got a choice over. Sanitary products are considered a 'privilege' and a 'luxury'.
Condoms and contraception is free, but yet you can choose to have sex. You can't choose to have a period but yet we have to pay monthly for something that is a bodily function. It's not right!
