Tampons Are Luxury Items, Says Namibia Finance Ministry thenamibian: Namibia

Finance spokesperson Wilson Shikoto, during a Desert Radio interview, said underprivileged women and girls typically do not use tampons, hence the decision to maintain 15% value added tax on these items.

"We saw that other products should not be included because they are viewed as a luxury. In most cases, they will use sanitary pads," Shikoto said. Ndapwa Alweendo, the project coordinator at Sister Namibia, said calling tampons a luxury item is unfair.
