Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : garder notre environnement propre et sain pour le futur

OBJECT : We call on the Luxembourgish government and the Chamber of Deputies to guarantee free access to essential menstrual products such as tampons and sanitary pads for everyone in Luxembourg. Menstruation is a natural part of life and not a choice. However, the cost of menstrual hygiene products still represents a financial burden for many people. No one should have to give up basic hygiene because of a lack of financial means. We therefore demand: free menstrual products in public schools, universities, and administrative buildings; free access to tampons and sanitary pads in public toilets; government measures to make menstrual products more affordable or freely accessible in supermarkets; as well as long-term action to fight period poverty in Luxembourg. Access to menstrual products is a matter of health, hygiene, dignity, and equality. Other countries and cities have already shown that such measures are both possible and beneficial. Luxembourg should send a modern and supportive message by ensuring that nobody is disadvantaged because of menstruation.

OBJECT : Therefore, we call on the Government to amend the legal framework so that: • the price for heating oil shall apply as a maximum price, which is fixed at the time of the order; • "upon delivery" pricing in the consumer sector is excluded if it would result in an increase in price; • Price clauses that lead to price increases after the order is placed for heating oil are no longer permitted. We ask the Chamber of Deputies to consider these demands and to initiate the necessary legislative steps.
