Free Sanitary Products in Public Bathrooms in Lancaster, UK
Free Sanitary Products in Public Bathrooms in Lancaster, UK
Why this petition matters
Why do individuals have to pay for something they cannot avoid? Something natural...It has been established and reported in the news that people who have periods spend on average of £492 on "sanitary products" annually, equating to around £18,000 over an individuals life time.
All we want is an emergency supply of sanitary products in gender neutral bathrooms in Lancaster, UK and on the Lancaster University Campus, when accidents may occur. Lets admit it, it has happened to all of us. It is embarrassing and humiliating, and although its natural, it is often overlooked in society.
Moreover, free sanitary products in public bathrooms would reduce the pressure on homeless women who are forced to decide between buying sanitary products or buying food.
Things must change. Period.
