Zurich fountains turned blood red against tampon tax
Thirteen fountains in Zurich, Switzerland have been turned 'blood red' using red dye by a feminist group protesting the 'tampon tax'. There is an 8% luxury tax on tampons and sanitary pads in Switzerland, as opposed to the 2.5% tax on numerous everyday items like groceries. The authorities have condemned the action and said the water is for the public.
