Menstrual pain can be debilitating and can severely impact the quality of life. For some, the extreme overall, whole-body symptoms prevent them from going to work, school, or having a social life.
Having a low quality of life can lead to anxiety, depression, isolation, and shame.
With paid period leave, a menstruator can recover knowing that their job won’t be lost.
