A Pakistani lawyer challenges a 40% tax on menstrual products, calling it unconstitutional and harmful to women's health and equality.
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.
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.
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.
