The All India Mahila Congress warmly welcomes and applauds the Karnataka Government’s progressive decision to grant one paid leave per month to menstruating employees. This landmark move reflects a sensitive and inclusive approach towards women’s health and workplace equity. Menstrual health has long been an ignored aspect of gender-sensitive policymaking. By acknowledging the l. biological realities faced by women, the Karnataka Government has set a
powerful precedent for gender justice and workplace dignity. This initiative goes beyond welfare, it is a recognition of rights, compassion, and equality. The All India Mahila Congress firmly believes that true empowerment begins when policy reflects empathy.
Ensuring that every working woman
We appeal to all other State Governments and Hon’ble Chief Ministers across the country to adopt similar measures, ensuring that every working woman, across public and private sectors, is treated with fairness and respect. This decision resonates deeply with our continued efforts under the leadership of the IndianNational Congress to promote women’s health, dignity, and economic independence. It is our hope that this step will open the doors for broader discussions on gender equity, healthaccess, and workplace inclusion across India.
