Promoting teleworking or granting an additional day off for women suffering from painful periods: this idea has been gaining ground in Europe and France in recent months. A bill, inspired by the Spanish law adopted in February 2023 and examined on Thursday April 4 in a session at the National Assembly, proposes to make it a right.
If it were voted on, the text carried by the environmentalist deputy Sébastien Peytavie would grant up to thirteen days of annual leave to women suffering from menstrual cramps, without a waiting period, and subject to a medical certificate in the event of “incapacitating periods “.
A handful of French companies, such as Carrefour, and local authorities have already announced that they will grant up to one additional day of leave per month to the women concerned. But the bill also meets opposition from Medef, the senatorial majority, which rejected a similar text at the beginning of February, and even feminist associations.
In this video, we examine the arguments promoted by proponents of menstrual leave and the reservations made by its opponents. And to find out why the municipality of Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis) has implemented this provision, we invite you to read the article below.
