Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Permettre aux commerçants, employés de caisse, travailleurs de stations-service, pharmacies, boulangeries, commerces de proximité et autres professions exposées au public de pouvoir détenir et utiliser légalement un spray de défense non létal de type gel ou gaz lacrymogène exclusivement en cas d'agression, de menace grave ou de danger immédiat.

OBJECT : Dës Petitioun fuerdert d'Aféierung vun engem wéchentleche Cours fir Deeskalatioun a Konfliktléisung an de Primärschoulen a Lycéeën zu Lëtzebuerg. D'Zil ass et, de Kanner a Jugendlechen ze léieren, hir Emotiounen besser ze geréieren, Konflikter ouni Gewalt ze léisen, respektvoll ze kommunizéieren an Empathie, Nolauschteren a gutt Zesummeliewen ze stäerken. Wéinst der zouhuelender Gewalt, dem Mobbing an dem Manktem u Respekt an de Schoulen, soll dës Initiativ preventiv wierken an zu engem méi rouegen a respektvolle Schoulklima bäidroen am Interessi vun de Schüler, den Enseignanten an der ganzer Gesellschaft.

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.
