The 20% tax on menstrual products is #discriminatory and abysmal. This has caused some Women and Girls especially in rural areas to resort to unhealthy options to substitute sanitary #pads. Join the campaign, sign the petition now! chng.it/wsWJRJpNZ6 #EndPeriodPoverty

The fight against discriminatory taxes on menstrual products will not stop until we have seen Nana Akufo-Addo & his Government take the necessary steps to remove these taxes.

Last year, Ghana Youth Task Team - Africa Youth Partnership sparked a campaign, #EndPeriodPoverty to get the attention of government to scrap the exorbitant taxes on menstrual products. This picture is proof that the Government is yet to take action to stop the plight of women and girls. #AfricaYouthPartnership
