Menstrual leave: Left-wing MPs introduce two bills to ‘break taboo’


Coming soon menstrual holiday in France? After the passage of the law in Spain, the subject arises in France, and the left takes a stand. Two weeks after the bill introduced by the Socialist group and introduced by MPs Mikael Bulu and Fatiha Kelua Hachi, the environmentalists presented theirs on Friday 26 May.

The text provides for the possibility of benefiting from the stoppage of work in the event of “disabled menstruation” (pain, nausea, headache, etc.) identified by a doctor or midwife.

In addition, they offer a five-day vacation in the event of a miscarriage and intend to force companies to establish “material measures” for menstrual health. For their part, environmentalists want to enshrine in labor legislation a ban on any discrimination based on menstrual health and require companies to organize “every three years” awareness actions.
