“Menstrual work stoppage”: environmentalist deputies return to the charge

In municipalities, in businesses… The initiative is spreading, little by little.

And the environmentalist deputies are seizing it, in turn, to try to include it in the law.

On April 4, in the parliamentary niche of his group (a day when a political group of the National Assembly has control of the agenda), the environmentalist deputy Sébastien Peytavie will present a bill to create a “work stoppage for incapacitating menstruation lasting up to thirteen days per year.

In other words, it is a “menstrual stoppage”, like sick leave, rather than “menstrual leave” – a wording not used.

Concretely, the environmentalist deputy proposes a capital of work stoppages fully covered and without waiting period, “applied consecutively or separately, over a period of one year”.
