flag A Pakistani lawyer, Mahnoor Omer, is challenging a 40% tax on menstrual products, calling it unconstitutional and a barrier to women's health and equality. flag She argues the tax, which includes 18% on local pads and 25% on imports, worsens period poverty in a country where nearly half live in poverty. flag The Islamabad court has ordered the government to respond, and Omer hopes the case will end taboos, improve access to sanitary products, and inspire policy change, following reforms in India and Nepal.
