Make female sterilisation available on demand to all women aged 16 and over

Petition Details

I'm 22 & have 3 kids and have had 2 miscarriages. I asked to be sterilized and was told I wasn't eligible as I am under 25 and have no medical need. This is unfair, and the Government should provide funding to make female sterilisation available on demand to all women aged 16 and over.

Additional Information

The Government has limited Child Tax Credits and Universal Credit payments to 2 children, but it is not possible for women to secure sterilisation on demand to prevent potentially unwanted pregnancies. As no contraceptive provides 100% protection, we should have the option of choosing sterilization if we know we do not want any more children without any barriers. This is our right to choose what we want.
