Get Toxic Chemicals Out of Period Products!

An explosive new study by PAN UK and Wen (Women’s Environmental Network) has just found toxic glyphosate in period products at *40 times* higher than the legal limit for drinking water.
Glyphosate is linked to cancer, dementia, fertility issues, and more – and it’s especially dangerous if it’s found in tampons because it allows this poison to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Period products are a necessity for MILLIONS of women, girls, and people who menstruate. Now, they could be at risk of exposure to chemicals linked to life-threatening illnesses.
Unbelievably, the UK government has no plan to fix this massive problem that could be affecting countless people…because barely anyone knows about this scandal.
But there’s already movement toward changing that, and together we can give the push new momentum with global public pressure that can force the government to act.
