"content": "Allow me to elaborate a little bit on what is called International Tampon Tax which is the umbrella term that describes the value added sales tax and other duties that are usually levied on luxury items that is then imposed on sanitary pads. Classifying menstrual hygiene products as luxury items is infringing on the rights of girls and women in this country. It also goes to show how our tax systems are punitive to women. How is it that something that happens involuntarily, a biological function of a woman‟s body, is classified alongside other luxury items whereby it is taxed?"
