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 policy shift could significantly improve menstrual health accessibility in Pakistan, potentially reducing school absenteeism among girls and improving overall reproductive health outcomes. The economic barrier removal is a crucial public health investment. #menstrualhealth #publichealth #pakistan #reproductivehealth
