Make all feminine and baby products for free
This petition will benefit a lot of people that cannot afford feminine or baby products. Such as homeless women, women who don't have enough money and cannot afford feminine or baby products. I want this to happen because I would like to help women to be able to have access to female and baby items.
A survey by Plan International UK has found that one in ten percent of girls have been unable to afford sanitary products. The survey of 1,000 14 to 21 year old's also found that: One in seven girls (15 percent) also don't have access to sanitary wear or baby products.
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:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about how much products cost are a matter for retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We can accept petitions calling for the Government to fund the free provision of certain products, and we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Fund Free Period Products - it is not a LUXURY: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/599377
If you want the Government to fund the free provision of baby products we could accept a petition requesting this, though you'd need to be clear what types of products you want the Government to provide for free.
If you start a new petition, you'll need to give us your full name.
