Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

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 : The purpose of this petition is to introduce, in Luxembourg, a legal framework for collective supplementary health insurance for employees in the private sector. This framework should provide for the following principles: 1. An obligation, for companies reaching a minimum employee threshold, to offer their employees collective supplementary health insurance; 2. A minimum employer contribution of 50% of the cost of the employee's basic coverage; 3. For companies with more than 100 employees, the possibility to offer three different levels of coverage adapted to employees' needs, provided that the price of the highest level does not exceed more than 100% above the lowest level; 4. Freedom of choice for employees, including: * joining the basic coverage; * optional extension to family members under negotiated conditions; * the possibility of exemption, exclusively where equivalent coverage already exists, notably through a spouse, another employer or a foreign scheme; 5. Tax neutrality, ensuring that the share paid by the employee benefits from tax treatment at least equivalent to that applicable to individually subscribed supplementary health insurance; 6. Adaptation according to company size, in order not to impose disproportionate administrative burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises; 7. Early application or specific mechanisms for companies employing staff in risk-related positions or under particularly demanding working conditions. These measures aim to improve access to healthcare, reduce household financial burden, strengthen fairness between employees, and reconcile social protection with economic competitiveness.

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.
