Karnataka Becomes First State in India to Approve Paid Menstrual Leave

Menstrual cycle isn’t easy for women’s. As described by Professor John Guillebaud, period pains are as bad as having a heart attack. Because of these women’s can’t even walk properly nor rest properly. And the pain will be continuous that we don’t even know how and when it stops. Painkillers can act for a few hours but the pain doesn’t stop. The Karnataka government has made significant work which felt relief to many of the working woman’s out there. This was much needed. Truly proud of the Karnataka government.

I agree, period pain is often underestimated. Karnataka’s move to support women with menstrual leave is a commendable and progressive step.
