Menstrual Leave: A Step Towards an Inclusive Growth Dr. Sumithra R.* *Assistant Professor, Vivekanands College of Law, Bengaluru Online Published on 09 August, 2024. Abstract India is a country known to have been very empathetic towards the children and the women. Our ancient scripture writers have held the women in high esteem and spoken in volumes about how they should be protected from the onslaught of day-to-day mundane life, menstruation being one of them. During the earlier times, a woman was given 3 days of complete rest owing to her fragile physical condition while she was menstruating. Though we touted it to be discriminatory, yet we have understood in the long run that it was done to protect her health. Science has established that if a menstruating woman goes near the fire for cooking or other purposes, the heat will stimulate her body to produce more progesterone thus increasing her bleeding, hence the advised rest. But, the modern women who has her calling in the employment for gain cannot afford the luxury of taking 3 days of leave during her menstruation, because of which she should be given the privilege of availing menstrual leave. The state should initiate suitable measure in this regard. Top Keywords Mensural Leave, Woman Right, Mensuration Cycle, Health Discrimination. Top | | | |
