Menstrual leave, also known as period leave, became the subject of endless discussion and controversy on social media after the statement by Union Minister of Women and Child Development Smriti Irani. The Menstrual Policy is a work policy that permits women employees to take time off when they are uncomfortable or in pain during their menstrual cycle.
Bihar is a pioneer in providing paid period leave to women. In 1992, after months of struggle, the Lalu Prasad Yadav government granted two days’ period leave per month to women government employees, up to the age of 45.
