Women in Scotland soon to get Tampons Free. In all Public and School toilets [Since 2001, VAT has been charged on period products at a rate of 5% in the UK, with EU rules meaning this "tampon tax" could not be abolished or reduced any further. However, over the past five years the UK government has put money raised by VAT on period products into a tampon tax fund which is used to support women's organisations and charities.] Last edited by arista; 24-11-2020 at 04:14 PM. |

Quite right. Access to healthcare of all kinds is a human right.

This should be extended to also provide sanitary pads for those of us whom tampons aren't an option.

Hopefully this decision will shame the Gov into following suit. I won't hold my breath though....although it would be hilarious to watch Boris bluster through a discussion on periods

It's a good move that other places should look to emulate. Such essentials should be available to all for free.
