Make sanitary/menstrual products free
Sanitary products to be covered by the NHS. Get rid of pink tax.
Menstrual products are seen as a ‘luxury’ item but are a necessity for most women or individuals who experience menstruation. They are an integral part of female health and hygiene yet a surprising amount of people struggle to afford them and are forced to go without.
