Rejected petition Make female sanitary products free

We believe that female's sanitary products should be free. This is a massive problem. There are approximately 1.6 million women in Wales alone, and in a cost of living crisis, many of them are having to balance household bills, with sanitary products.

We ask that the Welsh Government hear us out, respond to our cries of help, and alleviate the financial pressures that all young women face daily. Make sanitary products free. Empower women.
