Minister of Family and Social Policies Derya Yanık met with journalists. Making evaluations on the agenda, Minister Yanık spoke about the increase in pad prices, which we have started to see on social media recently.
It is a well-known fact that almost every product has been raised recently. Citizens cannot make restrictions on basic needs such as food while giving up on arbitrary products. Hygiene products for women, such as pads, are among the products that citizens cannot give up. However, price increases in these products have been the focus of reactions for a while. The statements made by Derya Yanık reveal that an upper limit can be imposed on the prices of feminine hygiene products.
“No study has been done on this so far”
In the statements made by the Minister of Family and Social Policies, Derya Yanık, it was stated that no work has been done on women’s pads, but it can be done. Minister Yanik said, “Unfortunately, these products are not reflected when VAT is reduced. But we can work on topics like an upper limit.” He did not touch on the details of the study.
There is a similar situation in baby and patient diapers.
According to the statements of Minister Derya Yanık, the problem is not only in the pads. Saying that citizens also have some demands for baby and sick diapers, Yanık stated that a study that would cover all these products would be more appropriate. However, as we have just mentioned, it is not clear how the work will be done.
