Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne welcomed Thursday the initiatives taken in certain companies in favor of menstrual leave and assured that the government "

looks at the device

" to "

facilitate this commitment

".

Asked about France 2 on a possible generalization of menstrual leave as in Spain, the head of government first insisted on the need to "

pay attention to words

" because "

when you have women who suffer every month

", as in the case of endometriosis, "

we are not talking about holidays

".

Companies have taken the plunge

These women "

must not resign themselves to having pain, you have to go see a doctor because it could be an illness

" and "

in this case, there are treatments and you can have work stoppages

", said she insisted.

But "

if the employer can organize itself to make life easier, that's a good thing and we are looking at how we can encourage and actually facilitate the commitment of companies

", added Ms. Borne.

Going through the law?

We are looking at the device

,” replied the Prime Minister.

and that we will have visibility on their content

”, explained to AFP Isabelle Rome, the Minister Delegate for Equality between Women and Men.

In January, the government launched a national strategy to combat endometriosis, with a research program endowed with several million euros.
