The Labour Minister of Karnataka, Santosh Lad, has formed a committee to draft a bill that would provide six days of paid menstrual leave annually for working women in both private and public sectors. This initiative aims to support women in the workforce who face physical and emotional challenges due to menstruation. If implemented, Karnataka would become the fourth state to offer ‘period leave’. While some women hail the move as bold and necessary, others argue that six days may not be sufficient, considering that periods can last about six days each month. Overall, the initiative is seen as a positive step towards recognizing and addressing women’s health needs in the workplace.
