Afro/Carribean Hair & Skin Care to be made essential items in main supermarkets
Main supermarkets currently do not stock products for afro/carribean. The independent shops that do were ordered to close as they were classed as non-essential. Those from a certain culture could not access essential items for their skin or hair type. As a white women, I can access a huge range.
There are essential items afro/caribbean people need for their particular skin/hair. They cannot use products that suit a Caucasians hair/skin type. Supermarkets must identify that they are ESSENTIAL items and should be more inclusive in their buys to cater for a more diverse set of needs. It should be put in to law that they are to be more inclusive.
It is a disgrace that the hair/skin shops they needed have been closed during lockdown - they were ESSENTIAL.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is not responsible for what products are stocked by shops. This is a matter for individual retailers.
Under current guidance no shops are restricted from opening, but if new restrictions requiring shops selling non-essential items to close were brought in, we could accept a petition requesting changes to the list of shops that are permitted to open.
