"Menstrual Leave: Gaining Popularity as a Solution for Painful Periods"
The concept of a day off for painful periods, known as period leave, has gained traction in various countries and companies since 2017. While some express concerns about its impact on employee commitment and value, others argue that it promotes gender equity and employee wellness. GoZoop, a pioneering company in implementing period leave, continues to offer the policy. Spain became the first European country to institute period leave, and similar policies exist in China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Zambia, and Mexico. In India, several private companies and government bodies have adopted period leave policies, with advocates emphasizing the importance of recognizing women's health and promoting inclusivity in the workplace.
