In Quebec, many cities and municipalities provide subsidies for the purchase of durable (washable) feminine hygiene products. This financial assistance covers part of the costs associated with the purchase of reusable feminine hygiene products . In addition to helping the environment, this decision saves women money. While we denounce the pink tax and the fees only intended for women, the city of Quebec has still not announced anything in this direction. Could Quebec do better in terms of the environment and support for women?
Montreal Sustainable Feminine Hygiene Grant
One might think that only small municipalities in Quebec have subsidies in place. But no! Several sectors of the city of Montreal offer a subsidy to women who wish to turn to washable feminine hygiene products . Montreal is often a comparable to Quebec City. By reimbursing part of the costs related to its female expenses, the city of Montreal encourages its population to follow suit. This is also the case for several notable cities such as Blainville , Boucherville , Mont-Tremblant , Matane , Rouyn-Noranda and even Saguenay . To date, there are more than 200!
Subsidies for feminine hygiene products not well known
There is reason to rejoice to see a large number of cities, boroughs and municipalities set up financial assistance to support sustainable feminine hygiene. However, the main challenge remains to inform women about this grant for sustainable feminine hygiene products. Indeed, a large number of women are unaware that it is possible to acquire financial assistance when buying menstrual panties, washable protections for urinary leakage or zero waste sanitary napkins. At Marie fil, a page of our website is entirely dedicated to the list of municipalities offering a subsidy for washable feminine hygiene products . By sharing this article, you can contribute to the recognition of this support.
Could Quebec City offer a subsidy for feminine hygiene products?
One thing is certain, the city of Quebec can do better in terms of the environment and support for women. Jackie Smith, head of Transition Quebec, also expressed this imbalance on International Menstrual Hygiene Day . Social justice and ecological transition can go through concrete actions. Buying sustainable menstrual products is one. Still need to encourage it!
Dear Quebec City, I love you, but Marie fil and hundreds of women are wondering... Will we be entitled to a subsidy for the purchase of durable feminine hygiene products in Quebec?
