The issue of taxation is one that has become very common in recent periods in Ghana. One that has become most talked about and debated on is the tax on Female Sanitary pads.

Wading deep into the conversations, the Human Rights Lawyer and Member of Parliament mentioned to Kafui Dey in an interview that, the tax placed on Sanitary pads sounds and sits as discriminatory while condoms stay untouched.

He backed his position with provisions enshrined in Article 27 of Ghana’s Constitution which States that women should enjoy their rights without further discrimination.

He argued that the 50% taxation on sanitary pads contradicts what the Constitution states.

He stressed that menstrual health and hygiene are inherent rights, and taxing these essential products disproportionately affects vulnerable individuals who may struggle to access them and in as much as there are not taxes on condoms, there shouldn’t be taxes on sanitary pads.
