Abolish Pink Tax
Get rid of "pink tax".
The tax is sexist, oppressive and attributed to gender-based price discrimination, it stops young women and girls from accessing crucial period and sanitary products. Particularly with the current climate regarding women's rights and equality, this law is very backwards and should immediately be abolished.
