Abstract

Menstruation is a normal occurrence that happens in the female body which is accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as cramping, bloating and mood swings. A person who undergoes menstruation has to bear both physical and mental stress. Menstruation can pose various challenges for working people so that essential rest is necessary for them. Menstrual leave is a disputable matter that has been discussed for a long time with arguments both for and against its implementation. The study has been conducted to know the perception of implementation of menstrual leave policy among working people with reference to Ernakulam district to examine whether the introduction of such policy is required or not. A Descriptive Research including self-structured questionnaire are used to collect the information from the employees of Ernakulam district which include 233 female, 95 male and 2 transgenders. A greater part of the employees is supportive towards implementation of menstrual leave policy. A law mandating would ensure that every organisation is obliged to provide menstrual leave policy which can help to combat discrimination against women in workplace, reduce the stigma attached to menstruation and help to contribute to better employee retention
