Think & Discuss
Menstrual Leave Policy: Progressive Reform or Potential Discrimination Enabler?
Context from today’s quiz: Karnataka became India’s first state to mandate 12 paid menstrual leave days annually—one day per month—for women employees across government and private sectors. This landmark policy aims to support women’s health, dignity, and workplace productivity.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
While menstrual leave acknowledges a genuine biological reality that affects many women’s productivity and well-being, critics argue it could inadvertently reinforce stereotypes or create hiring bias against women. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and Zambia have such policies with varying implementation success.
Should menstrual leave become a national mandate in India, or should it remain optional/state-specific to prevent potential discrimination in hiring?
Should menstrual leave become a national mandate in India, or should it remain optional/state-specific to prevent potential discrimination in hiring?
- How can policy design prevent employers from viewing women as “more expensive” employees due to additional leave entitlements?
- Should menstrual leave be universally available or require self-declaration/medical certification to prevent misuse concerns?
- Could flexible work arrangements (work-from-home options) be a better alternative than dedicated leave days?
