For all women’s sanitary towels/tampons to be free ! They are too expensive!
I want the government to make a stand for all women’s sanitary towels/tampons to be free, some women/girls cannot afford sanitary products, especially school girls, who might have a single parent.
Imagine young school girls coming on their period and to not be able to afford sanitary products.
I want them to be free, as we women didn’t chose to have periods, and yet we are having to pay for sanitary products which are expensive in themselves, yes periods are natural causes of a woman’s body, but young school girls start their period and some of their parents might not be able to afford them, it is embarrassing enough coming on your period but having no sanitary towels to protect yourself either.
Some girls have to use tissue, and that is all they have, and that it is not enough!
