#tampontax

[wetheworldmagz]

Britain became one of the few countries in the world to pass legislation abolishing the 'sexist' tax on sanitary products, garnering widespread acclaim from women's rights groups and of course, Brexit supporters.

Amazing news! After almost two decades of fiery debate, Australia has finally relinquished the 10% tax on menstrual hygiene products, which were considered a "luxury" item. Read more here.

Tennessee lawmakers resist lifting tampon tax because women might buy too many, god #forbid women buy too many items of things she may need, call me toxic shocked. I mean why is a woman thinking about the needs of her body, good on those Tennesse #lawmakers resisting the lifting of the tampon tax, how dare women not have control over their bodies, how dare she #mensturate. We need to bring the #menstruation shack back, menstruation is an attack on standards, conventions & #traditional tradition. #kingsburywine #toxicshocksyndrome #tampon #tampontax #pinktax #tampontaxmustfall #tennessee #tennesseewhiskey #mensttruationshack (at Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8i6phlpJmY/?igshid=2jnyx87dpzf8

@periodmovement and @seventhgeneration have been sharing about #nationalperiodday and today I'm going to call @nygovcuomo to thank him for passing a law that will make menstrual products in New York State disclose their ingredients and ask him to stop taxing these products because we shouldn't be taxed just because we were born female! I'm also going to ask @andrewcuomo to continue pursuing safety and progress in New York State's Personal Care Laws by banning fragrance from menstrual products. Fragrance is a blanket ingredient that can consist of hundreds of chemicals including those linked to cancer, infertility, and birth defects; Fragrance as an ingredient absolutely should not be anywhere near our lady parts! Join me and comment below how you're supporting the #MenstrualMovement today! 💪🏽 👛 👙 . . . #notaxationwithoutrepresentation #femaletax #periodpower #destigmatize #betterbeauty #getfragranceout #tampontax #ilovenewyork #newyork #newyorkperiodproducts #menstruallaws #getyiurlawsoffmyovaries #discloseingredients #tamponingredientslist https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zIV9Sg7xZ/?igshid=7vur72cydumg

In my stories today I talked about choosing safer paper products, especially toilet paper 🧻 and feminine hygiene products, which can expose our most delicate area to quite a number of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals including ☠️ formaldehyde, BPA, toluene, xylene, chloroform, parabens, phthalates, dioxins, and pesticides. ☠️ # I also shared some education about what it means in the U.S. to suffer #PeriodPoverty. My state of Tennessee has a bill in process that if passed will address period poverty in public schools by providing free pads and tampons for students to use. On Facebook I recently saw a news article about this bill and saw so many uninformed comments laughing at the term "period activist". It's no laughing matter that 1 in 5 menstruating females in the U.S. endures period poverty and can't afford necessary hygeine items. Some school-aged girls will miss up to 145 days because of this. Oh and most states still tax these necessities as "luxury items" 🤬 making them even less affordable # I know I am privileged to even be able to consider making safer choices for these products for myself, I do not take this for granted since I grew up in poverty and didn't always have adequate food or shelter. But now I'm happy to be able to choose Grove sustainable and formaldehyde-free bamboo🎋 toilet paper and @toporganicproject hygeine products. For every purchase made, TOP donates their non-toxic organic cotton products to those in need - how amazing is that?! It's one way I (we) can make a difference for others while taking better care of ourselves. I'm also meeting with my congressman's office next week to discuss more health protective laws, more on that later, though! I'll make a story highlight so you can swipe up on the links (including getting free TP!) #organiccotton #parabenfree #phthalatefree #paleolifestyle #tampontax (at Memphis, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuaEBRggY1c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i38xxtyck8px

FINALLY!!

happy new year the tampon tax is gone 💛🎉😘💛

[glblctzn]

South Africa has finally declared menstrual products tax-free! Taxing menstrual products makes them less affordable and accessible, especially for low-income consumers. Many young girls end up missing school because they cannot afford to manage their periods. South Africa’s decision to lift the tax on sanitary pads will make it possible for more young girls receive an education, among other benefits. Read more here.

TAMPON TAX for @1215today. The tampon tax has always been a bitter pill to swallow. Then a couple of months ago it was announced that organisations that work with disadvantaged girls and women could apply for funding from the tax. Although it still felt unjust that essentially women would have to fund these things it was still progress. However it has emerged this week a charity 'organisation life' has been awarded a quarter of a million pounds. 'Organisation life' is an anti abortion and anti-choice charity, a group that is known to use scaremongering and terminology such 'the death penalty' when referring to ending a pregnancy. As Suzanne Moore so aptly put it 'Women’s bodies are taxed for simply functioning and then this money is given to those who would restrict what we can do with them' 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ #illustration #theresamay #tampontax #feminism #mybodymychoice #politicalcartoon #womensmarch #resist

Women's Protest Idea

Ladies. Since men, especially our government, are hellbent on governing our bodies, defunding our access to healthcare, and taxing our hygiene products, let's make our voices heard in a way they won't be able to ignore. If Planned Parenthood loses funding (or let's just go for it now and save time waiting for the ball to drop), let's mail our used pads and tampons to the orange man in the White House himself. That's right, used. Save them. Box them. Ship them to the White House. Or you local representatives/legislators signing bills against our bodies. 💁🏻💁🏼💁🏽💁🏾💁🏿
