Petition background

This petition calls for the UK government to make period products free and accessible in the UK (excluding Scotland).

Additional details

A menstrual cycle forms part of the female reproductive experience, yet it is heavily stigmatised & profited off. Period poverty is a barrier risking the health and wellbeing of girls & women, leaving 1 in 5 women unable to afford sanitary products. This petition calls for this to change. Period products should be free in all public spaces in the UK. Following a similar plan to the Period Products Act introduced by Scotland, we know this change is possible. Please sign and share!
