Background

Fund access to free menstrual products for all women. Most women have periods and sanitary products are a need not a want. We believe women shouldn't have to suffer with the cost of their essentials on top of the suffering of a natural cause.

Additional details

Women can suffer with a variety of different physical inconveniences with their periods. The current cost of living is hard enough and having to budget and worry about how you will pay for sanitary products could be easily avoided if women's needs were put first. Not everyone has easy access to basic necessities and this petitions goal is to eliminate the stress of highly priced period products. I believe this will create a positive relationship between women and their periods.
