The Argument For Menstrual Leave in India
Companies need to realize that period leave does not lose productivity from the women’s end. On the contrary, menstrual leave leads to various benefits for women all in one. If she feels good inside, then obviously, after one day of her menstruation leave, she will feel fresh to start her work. Many firms allow women to get the “work from home” facility for their menstrual period.
There should be many women support groups to create awareness across the communities. It includes the basic discussion pointers about how to normalize menstruation, stop hiding from it, and why menstrual leave should occur. Positive changes in society come from the right & good mindset of people. First, we need to teach proper menstruation in our society’s roots. Then, the open room discussions on menstrual pain, cramps, and their ill effects should occur. All men, women, and children regardless of age, country, or caste should be a part of such discussion.
Gone were the days when women used to hide having periods and speaking openly in such areas of their life. Now, with no shame, we all have to join our hands and bring the much-needed change to our conventional societal norms.
