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.
While removing taxes on menstrual products is progress, are we also addressing the root issue of menstrual poverty? How can we ensure these products are actually accessible to all women, not just those who can afford them?
Worth thinking about for sure.
