Ok, this is in India.Female teachers in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh have started a campaign seeking three days of menstrual leave every month.Many teachers say they have to travel long distances to areas that are not well connected by public transport and that filthy toilets at schools - which are generally unusable - add to their misery during periods. I recall a UNICEF commercial or article, or charity or something for feminine hygiene products in Africa, because girls had to miss school because of their periods, because they were too poor, or there was no place to change them, or something like that. So it actually is a problem. Now, I've heard similar things in the US, about wanting leave for lady days. It can be debilitating for a select few, but if you're that disabled by it, then companies should not be forced to keep you on. It's like Maternal Leave, why pay'em when they aren't working, everything objectors said to women in the workforce was basically true. So while this would be nonsense in the West, in Third World countries it might be a thing, though it should be at employer's discretion, no government involvement, free market, freedom of association.
