SUBMITTED STORY
March 30, 2023
In 2014, I started a petition to end tampon tax and at that stage, I started to realise how wide-spread period stigma is and the impact it has in terms of period poverty, impacting confidence, productivity and self esteem. After campaigning for years to end tax and tackle stigma, the petition gained over 300,000 signatures and we successfully lobbied parliament into ending the tax in 2021. We’re now campaigning to get retailers to lower the price of period products in line with tampon tax ending.
