Period poverty

The Issue

Hello there,

I believe that each woman should have free period products available if they need them. I know Scotland has been very good at this, but it is time that other countries do this as well. As a poor young girl, your family may not have enough money to buy you sanitary towels or you may be too afraid to ask them as you worry they will struggle to give you money. This needs to end. Every person needs to feel in control of their body. Girls and women need to be able to get these things even if they have no money. Everybody must be equal and be able to pay for their health and sanitation. Please sign this to get the government to make a difference. And to each person out there, you can donate tampons and sanitary towels. Girls should be helped to cope with their periods, regardless of their money situation.
