Require employers by law to provide menstrual leave, similar to Spain

Require employers by law to provide menstrual leave, similar to Spain — 15 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Introduce a law that requires all employers to offer paid leave for women experiencing period pain and related symptoms. Women should not lose pay for having periods. It’s biology, yet many have to work through severe pain and heavy bleeding or take unpaid sick leave, Spain has it as the law.

Additional details

We want the Government to make paid menstrual leave a legal right for all workers, like Spain. Women shouldn't have to work through severe pain and bleeding or lose wages. Periods aren't a choice, and women shouldn't be financially penalised for a natural health need.
