Make female sanitary products essential and non-luxury
Currently feminine hygiene products are considered non-essential and due to COVID-19 restrictions many stores aren’t selling them as there “luxury items”
Having a period isn’t a choice! It is not a decision women make, they do not choose to have one and it is also essential to the future of the human race to have periods.
We do NOT sit at home and think we’re spoiling ourselves for having to endure pain and bleeding for 5-7 days then have to spend ridiculous amounts on sanitary products. Many women even have to chose between food and tampons! It’s 2020 not 1920 sort the priorities out!!
