Sanitary Pad Campaign

All India Mahila Congress (AIMC) plans to distribute 25 lakh sanitary pads, under "Garima" campaign to women who do not have access to it amid COVID-19 lockdown, said AIMC president on Friday.

The government scrapped a controversial tax on sanitary pads on Saturday, a move hailed by campaigners who say it will help more girls to go to school during their periods and boost their job prospects.

The first business in Britain aiming to address period poverty with a "buy one, give one" model has launched. For every pack of sanitary pads purchased, another will be given to someone who can't afford one.

Scores of activists of Students Federation of India (SFI) and All India Democratic Womens' Association (AIDWA) sent sanitary napkins to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley demanding the immediate withdrawal of GST on sanitary napkins to mark the beginning of the All India Campaign "Bleed Without Fear, Bleed without Tax".

The women's wing of the Nationalist Congress Party launched a signature campaign today, to press for its demand of making sanitary pads tax-free.

In an Internet movement spearheaded by an NGO called She Says, netizens are writing to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and asking him to abolish the tax on women's sanitary products.

A group of students at Kolkata's Jadavpur University, who have now adopted pads-against-sexism movement', today peppered the campus with sanitary napkins. The napkins were inscribed with slogans related to gender sensitization and the stigma of those raped or molested. The movement was started by Germany's Elone Kastratia on Women's Day.

Days after Delhi's prestigious St Stephen's College suspended a student-run magazine, another college has served notice to four students for a sanitary pad campaign on campus.
