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.
Is this government subsidy really helping women, or just creating dependency? Whats the real impact on family planning choices?
If these subsidies actually improve reproductive health outcomes rather than just lowering prices, thats a win. But what happens when the funding runs out?
Interesting perspective on this.
