r/worldnews - Around the world, activists are campaigning for menstrual dignity: despite the fact that sanitary products are a necessity and not a luxury, half of the countries in the European Union apply a so-called ‘Tampon Tax’ (a VAT levy at the same rate as tobacco, beer and wine)

Same vat rate on toilet paper and most other toiletries. Well chalk one up for the US, at least in PA no tampon tax here. via Pocket https://ift.tt/2NjpvNJ
