Finland REJECTS axing tampon tax.

Happy bank holiday amazing campaigners,

I have some sad news for you: Finland's Finance Minister Mika Lintilä has REJECTED proposals to end or lower tampon tax. This is a huge disappointment. Although Lintilä's centre party called for a slashing of tampon tax from 24% to 10% ahead of Finland's spring election, it appears he has gone back on his election promise.

If you live in Finland or have a connected to the country and would be interested in starting a tampon tax sister petition then please get in touch with me via twitter (@lauracoryton) or by commenting on this update below. It would be amazing to start a petition in response to Lintilä's announcement together!

Have a lovely long weekend,

Laura :)
