Abstract

ABSTRACT The article examines the role of insider-outsider alliances and framing strategies in the campaign to end the “tampon tax” in Canada. Drawing on Kingdon’s Multiple Stream Framework (MSF) and feminist policy studies, the study aims to explain how and why efforts to remove the federal sales tax on menstrual products succeeded in 2015 when previous attempts had failed. By mapping developments in the problem, policy and politics streams, the study shows how outside activists worked with political insiders to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the broader political and policy systems, successfully moving the issue of the tampon tax onto the government’s agenda. The article concludes with suggestions for future research in feminist policy studies and menstruation studies.

经期行动主义，内外联盟和议程设置:对加拿大结束“卫生棉条税”运动的分析

摘要本文探讨了内部-外部联盟在加拿大结束“卫生棉条税”运动中的作用和制定策略。该研究借鉴了Kingdon的多流框架（MSF）和女权主义政策研究，旨在解释2015年取消月经用品联邦销售税的努力是如何以及为什么成功的，而之前的尝试都失败了。通过绘制问题、政策和政治流的发展图，该研究显示了外部活动家如何与政治内部人士合作，利用更广泛的政治和政策体系中出现的机会，成功地将卫生棉条税问题列入政府议程。文章最后对女性政策研究和月经研究的未来研究提出了建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
