巴基斯坦积极分子以教育和两性公平影响为由, 开展终止对月经床垫征税的运动。 Pakistani activist campaigns to end tax on menstrual pads, citing education and gender equity impacts.

在巴基斯坦,对月经垫作为奢侈品征税,限制了数以百万计的女孩和妇女的上学机会,其中许多人因为耻辱和缺乏用品而失学。 In Pakistan, menstrual pads are taxed as luxury goods, limiting access for millions of girls and women, many of whom miss school due to stigma and lack of supplies. 25岁的活动家布什拉·马努尔领导了一场废除该税的运动，她收集了超过一万个请愿签名，并于2025年提起诉讼，要求将卫生巾重新归类为必需品。 Activist Bushra Mahnoor, 25, leads a campaign to eliminate the tax, having gathered over 10,000 petition signatures and filed a 2025 lawsuit to reclassify pads as essential items. 她的努力突出了月经保健、教育和性别权利之间的交叉点,因为尽管发生了全球转变,污名化和贫穷仍然阻碍着进展,例如马拉维和埃塞俄比亚取消了相关税收。 Her efforts highlight the intersection of menstrual health, education, and gender rights, as stigma and poverty continue to hinder progress despite global shifts—such as Malawi and Ethiopia removing related taxes. 巴基斯坦仍然缺乏国家月经保健政策,政府机构尚未对征求意见的要求作出答复。 Pakistan still lacks a national menstrual health policy, and government agencies have not responded to requests for comment.
