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 : In the current context of geopolitical instability and energy shocks-particularly linked to the war in Iran and disruptions in energy markets-Luxembourg must strengthen its energy resilience by accelerating the uptake of efficient, low-carbon heating solutions such as heat pumps. We request that, solely for access to subsidies/financial support (Klimabonus) related to heat pumps, the current acoustic control method be adapted: the 40 dB(A) threshold would be maintained, but the assessment would be carried out at the relevant immission point (at the window closest to a noise-sensitive room at the neighbour's dwelling) rather than at the property boundary.
