Describe the challenge you want to address:

It seems that people expect women to be housewives but expect them to afford their own needs.Such as pads, tampons, or other feminine hygiene. I think it should be provided to use for free because the products are getting way too expensive. Nobody asked to get periods and its something we can't get rid of. Not only is it about hygiene but also women's safety.

What is the solution to the challenge?

In my school, we offer free period products. I feel that we can have it free in pharmacies. There could be a limit to how much a person could get at a time. Another idea is the city government could distribute it to each household a few per month.
