free menstrual
products
what is the issue?
49% of women have faced inaccessibility to menstrual sanitary products, menstrual hygiene education, toilets, hand washing facilities and/or waste management.
The average woman spends $13.25 a month on menstrual products, which is money that the other half of the population does not have to spend.
our policy
For better quality of life for women and those who experience periods in Australia, free menstrual products will be provided in public bathrooms.
As this policy focuses on the topic feminism, it will provide people with menstrual sanitary products, which they otherwise might not have had the chance to obtain. Free menstrual products would also boost economy, being extremely beneficial towards the finances of those with periods.
how does our policy help?
Free menstrual products would be extremely beneficial towards the finances of those who have periods.
Our policy aims to better the accessibility of menstrual products for women and those who experience periods, as there isn’t enough around Australia.
This will also promote equity as men's finances are not impacted by this cost every month.
