National Women Organizer of the National Democratic Congress Dr. Hanna Bisiw has called for Sanitary Pad imports to be exempted from the 20% import duty tax.

The NDC Women Organizer is also urging government to cancel the 12.5% VAT on the product.

The demands of Dr. Hanna Bisiw are two of the four proposals she believes are needed to curb what she described as the “sex for pad” canker.

These proposals Dr. Bissiw believes will drive down the prices of sanitary pads which majority of females need every month.

Most women use at least two packs of sanitary pads every month during their periods but the price of these essential product continues to climb up as Ghana struggles with hyperinflation and a brutal tax regime imposed by the government in a bid to meet conditionalities of the International Monetary Fund.

The situation has left lot of girls of school going age struggling to procure the sanitary they desperately need when in their menstrual cycle.

The NDC Women Organizer Dr. Hanna Bisiw says government can help provide a cheaper Ghana made alternative by assisting “two talented Ghanaian women Emily Otoo-Quayson and Matilda Sampong who make sanitary pad from banana stem”

She is also calling on government to champion a “washroom infrastructure boom in every basic and high school in Ghana”
