I would like government to make women's sanitary products free.
I would like you to make women sanitary products free as they are a great impact for cost to many family's, especially eco-friendly ones
I would like government to do this as many working class family's, don't have enough money on top of bills, food and housing. Paying for sanitary products every month is a challenge, which they don't have choice in buying! Scotland has even made women's sanitary products free. The "Average women spends £500 a year on products". If you've got a family with more girls, this can become a financial burden. It has been reported that many girls miss school as they do not have necessary provisions, further impacting on their future.
