Hong Kong / New Delhi One of India's biggest food delivery companies says it will give all female employees 10 days of"period leave" a year — a significant milestone in a country where menstruation remains a taboo topic.
In a statement Saturday, Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal said women and transgender people would be entitled to one day of period leave for each menstrual cycle.Zomato — which bought Uber's food delivery business in India earlier this year — is the most high profile company in the country to introduce period leave. At least a handful of other companies have introduced similar policies in the past, according to local media reports.
This is one of the best news I have heard today, KUDOS 🎊🎊🎊🎊
Cause women only have their periods ten days a year
Why don’t men get stress of living with a bird who’s on the blob. ( which should be 10 days a month ) Also I thought men could get periods too
Oh, thats just ridiculous. As females we are to stop using our periods as excusses when we are like 15. I have never missed a day of work for one. I have horrible one as well, vomiting, cramps, the whole works.
😂 this one really ruffled a lot of men’s feathers! Good for them, periods can be really painful and a huge burden to just suck it up and act normal’ sometimes you even throw up from being in so much pain.
But will they ask for it. Will they have to declare they are having their periods. Most bosses are men. There is so much stigma and embarrassment associated with it, doubt women will be able to ask for it, unless they don’t have to give reason.
Insulting and ridiculous.
This is big.
It’s a start; more than anyone else has done. My old employer used to give me 2 days off (I was part-time, so, not paid), when I had mine, every month. I was also hospitalized for cramps and received meds via injection, on occasion. Violent vomiting; up all night crying in pain.
At least 24 days per year should be a good decision.
