Painful periods: menstrual leave at the town hall of Saint-Ouen

In France, one in two women say they suffer from it. Last year, several companies took the initiative to allow menstrual leave to their employees. For the first time, this leave was set up a few weeks ago at the town hall of Saint-Ouen. Since March 27, city officials can officially pose for two days every month in the event of painful periods. A report by Emma Garboud-Lorenzoni.


In France, several deputies and senators are preparing a bill to introduce menstrual leave for the employees concerned.  (illustrative image)
