Скачать или смотреть Karnataka Government Introduces Paid Menstrual Leave for Working Women

The government of Karnataka, India, has announced a new policy granting one-day paid menstrual leave to working women across government and private sectors. Women aged 18 to 52 can avail this leave without requiring any medical certificate.

Officials estimate that around 400,000 women will benefit from the initiative. However, experts emphasize that nearly 6 million women working as domestic helpers, daily wagers, or laborers are still excluded from this policy, urging the government to expand the benefits.

Several countries, including Spain, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia, already offer menstrual leave. Some Indian states like Bihar, Odisha, and Kerala also provide similar benefits to government employees.

This decision has sparked discussions on equality and workplace bias, as the private sector is also included in the new policy.
