Why We’re Fighting for Free Feminine Products
We’re two Grade 12 students in a Social Justice class, and we believe that period products should be free and accessible to everyone because periods don’t pause for poverty.
Every day, homeless women, single mothers, and students are forced to go without basic menstrual products. Some are choosing between diapers for their children or pads for themselves. Others are using unsafe alternatives, risking their health and dignity. That’s not just a personal issue. It’s a social justice crisis.
Menstrual products are not a luxury. They're a necessity. No one should be punished or held back simply because they menstruate. When we provide free period products in public washrooms, shelters, and schools, we’re not just meeting a need. We’re saying that everyone deserves dignity, safety, and respect.
We're taking a stand because change starts with us. Sign our petition. Help us fight period poverty and bring dignity to women and girls in every community.

This is just common sense. We have toilet paper in every stall for free so why is this any different? About time.
My daughter told me about this today. Its crazy that schools dont provide basic needs like this already.
I remember being in high school and being so embarrassed because I didn't have anything. No girl should ever feel like that.
PERIODS ARE NOT A LUXURY. Stop taxing them and get them in schools NOW.
thank you for doing this. so many women are struggling and its about time we treated this as a basic health necessity.

Finally someone is talking about this. It is impossible to buy pads when you have to choose between food and hygiene products.
