For the absorption of menstrual blood, 89 per cent use cloth, 2 per cent cotton

wool, 7 per cent sanitary pads and 2 per cent ash (WaterAid)

Women of India should not be paying a luxury tax of 12 percent for sanitary napkins when items like sindhoor , tikli and bangles have 0 percent tax.

Every voice counts. Make your voice heard!

This petition is for everyone who believes in equality! Please sign the petition!

How is hygiene a luxury item? This is basic health, not a choice. Fix this immediately.

It should not be taxed . The whole idea of it being a luxury is stupid. People who feel it is a luxury should go through a menstrual cycle pain simulator. Would be perfectly knowledgeable for them
