Menstrual Leave Policy and Related Laws Around the World

More than half of the world’s population menstruates, which includes not only women but also transgender persons. Besides bleeding, such individuals suffer from other problems such as dysmenorrhea, poor coordination, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, etc. Menstruation is not much talked about in our society and hence related legislations are barely found or rarely cater for the needs of the hour.

Years of fighting against patriarchy and oppression would go in vain as the society barely understands the concept of feminism – which is to give equal rights and opportunities to biologically different sexes.
