	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>Period poverty is a serious issue in Zimbabwe. For example, recent reports show that some 62% of girls are missing school every month and 5% drop out completely due to menstruation. The Government of Zimbabwe has sought to address this through suspending import duty and value added tax on sanitaryware. Through our programmes in Zimbabwe we are currently supporting over 12,000 girls to stay in secondary school by providing a package of essential items including sanitaryware. In addition, the recently launched United Nations humanitarian flash appeal highlights procurement of sanitaryware as a priority action for specific groups.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 13/03/2019 15:42:04 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Harriett Baldwin
