Make Menstrual Products Free or Significantly Cheaper For Everyone
To ensure essential menstrual products, such as pads, tampons, to be affordable and accessible to all.
-Remove all VAT/ sales tax on menstrual products
-Fund free provision of pads and tampons in schools, colleges, universities and other public facillities
Periods are a basic biological reality, not a choice. Yet many people struggle to afford the products they need each month, leading to health risks, missed education and workplace absences. Making menstrual products affordable or free will reduce period poverty, improve public health and promote gender equality.
