"There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma attached to applying for a period leave. You should feel free to tell people on internal groups, or emails that you are on your period leave for the day," he added, and said if anyone faces any harassment or comments from coworkers about taking period leave they can report it to a hotline email.In this file photo, a Zomato logo seen displayed on a smartphone.

Goyal asked that female employees not abuse these days off and only use them for their intended purpose."This is a part of life, and while we don’t fully understand what women go through, we need to trust them when they say they need to rest this out," he wrote."I know that menstrual cramps are very painful for a lot of women -- and we have to support them through it if we want to build a truly collaborative culture at Zomato.

The researchers noted that the language used in menstrual leave policies, in order for them to be effective, must normalize discussion of menstruation and not perpetuate"patriarchal misconceptions about menstruation." Finally, they say that in order for period leave policies to be fully beneficial, attitudes and stigma surrounding menstruation must change.

I say Zomato, you say Zomatoe.

Female fragility is a business liability.

Let's see, Men could have ten masturbation days off. Oh, Women do that too? Hmmm.

Lol

My first day is so severe I've had to use sick leave so I can lay in pain all day. The headline makes it seem you can take the whole week off, but if you read the article is says up to 10 days a year. 👍

That’s great!

Is it paid?

Implying what exactly? Hmm?

I have a joke about periods but it's the wrong time of the month to tell it

Is Zomato pronounced Zomāto or Zomăto?

That’s nice. Pray tell how a transgender menstrates?

...but I was told Men could menstruate too?

do guys get to use it too.

'Workers' not 'Women'? Can men menstruate too?

That means women. And this is ridiculous

No thanks

FFS

That’s sexist

Does that include the period before the period?
