Make period products free
I would like you to make period products free for any girl or woman who needs them.
Girls and women shouldn't have to be charged for something they do not have a choice in and can't control, nor should they be charged for going through a natural process of life. Prices keep increasing, which means feminine products are becoming unaffordable for women who aren’t earning enough. Those who struggle to buy period products may have to resort to unhygienic solutions to take care of themselves.
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 the cost of sanitary products are a matter for manufacturers and retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Require sanitary products are made available in all public and workplace toilets: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/606807
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund free sanitary products for all women and girls, if that's something you'd like to happen.
