The women and girls who need sanitary napkins/towels and tampons deserve affordable access to these essential hygiene products. Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre and the Cabinet of Ministers took a decisive step toward ending period poverty in Saint Lucia.
The Cabinet approved a memo submitted by the Ministry of Commerce to include female sanitary products in the government’s official price control list. Before the Prime Minister’s Cabinet agreed to add female sanitary products price control list, retail and wholesale markups ranged from 90% to 155%.
Because of the Cabinet’s intervention, markups on female sanitary products will be restricted by 35% for local retailers and 30% for wholesalers. Adding female sanitary products to the price control list will prevent price gouging and promote menstrual equity in Saint Lucia.
Female sanitary products will remain on the price control list from October 23, 2023, to August 1, 2025.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
