Periods.

In Australia, over 50% of people are women. There are less men then there are females. Also, 52.7% females are at the age where we will have our period, and 12 % are in high school. Yet, a product as simple as menstrual supplies is costly. 

We are still young, yet we have to bring supplies to school to help us with a basic bodily function.

Once, I got my period at school and had nothing on me. Could I just go to the bathroom and grab a pad? No! Could I go ask a teacher? Yes, but no! I ended up racing across the school to ask a friend if I could use one of hers. 

That's just not fair. In Universities, there are condom machines. In cinemas, sometimes there will be a menstrual product dispenser. Yet schools, where young women spend the first 18 years of life, can't provide something as simple as a sanitary product dispenser,

In a lifetime, a female will spend approximately $1,773.33 on period products. That's crazy. But for some reason, the government deems it necessary for the prices of them to be insane. 

So why aren't these things free? Honestly, I don't know. But what I do know is that it shouldn't be this way. 

My goal is to get as many signatures as I can, then take it to my school office or my city council, and get this changed for good!

This is one step in many that have to be taken to get this project off it's feet. Any help is awesome!
