Pakistan ends 'luxury tax' on menstrual products, contraceptives. Will prices drop?
In Pakistan, taxes on menstrual products can add up. Activists have long worked to change this. Now a new budget wipes out the 18% sales tax. But questions remain about the impact on prices.
This progressive policy shift is promising! By removing the luxury tax, are we really addressing the root issue of menstrual equity, or just masking the deeper problem of womens healthcare being treated as non-essential?
