The National Assembly of Bhutan will be deliberating the Goods and Services Tax Bill of Bhutan 2020. We've never had a single rate tax before GST. The GST deliberation is important for women because for the first time, there will will be a discussion to remove taxation on feminine hygiene products like tampons and sanitary napkins. 

In this episode, I share an opinion piece of mine written in December 2018 for The Diplomat on "Why Bhutan’s 'Blood Tax' Needs To Be Scrapped."
