Provide free sanitary products for girls under 16
Provide free sanitary towels and tampons to all girls under the age of 16. So many girls miss school because they haven’t enough money for these basics. A lot of schools will provide them but why should a girl have to ask. This could be done by vouchers or via prescription.
Can they imagine what it’s like not to be able to afford a tampon or towel?
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government has already developed a scheme with schools:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as providing products/vouchers individually instead of via schools.
