Because of the menstrual leave policy it has become disagreement and discrimination against girls and women. As per the research, very few of the countries has menstrual leave policy. In india, there are companies like Gozoop and cultural Machine who gives menstrual leave for female employees for the first day of the menstruation. Indian Company Zomato who delivers food also have the policy of menstrual leave for female employees. It is necessary that menstrual leave policy should be their in companies because some of the women while going through menstruation they may suffer from dysmenorrhea due to which it causes more pain. In our society, it is stigma to have menstrual leave their are many few of them who supports for menstrual leave policy whereas other people will start discrimination against women. Companies needs to apply menstrual leave policy because women has to work sitting at a place for 8 to 9 hours and while menstruating it becomes difficult for women to goes through with pain. Society need to remove the stigma about menstrual leave and atleast support for women’s menstrual leave policy every month.
