Why this petition matters

Started by Nasaria Rahman

The fact that this tax is directly targeted at females for a natural occurrence in their reproductive process they have no choice or control over makes the tax highly insensitive, unjust and immoral.

 

The choice of whether to keep clean and safe or not is one that a state should never have to present to its people, particularly to the vulnerable sections of society. 

This current taxes on sanitary pads (20% luxury and 12.5% on VAT) have made the product very expensive and inaccessible to many low-income households who must choose between the pads and competing needs.
