Indian food delivery company Zomato said on Saturday it would give female employees up to 10 days of “period leave” per year, as part of an effort to combat what it said was stigma around the issue.Zomato is the most high profile organisation to institute the policy in India, a country where menstruation is still taboo to some.
“There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma attached to applying for a period leave,” Zomato chief executive Deepinder Goyal said in an email to staff on Saturday.
“You should feel free to tell people on internal groups, or emails that you are on your period leave for the day.”
Founded in 2008, Gurugram-based Zomato is one of India’s best-known companies, with more than 5,000 employees.
Millions of women and girls in India still face discrimination and health issues due to a lack of awareness surrounding menstruation.
In 2018, India’s Supreme Court overturned a decades-long ban on women of menstrual age entering the Sabarimala temple in the southern state of Kerala, leading to a nationwide debate about women’s rights.

Esther Agi Do you wish for the company you work with to introduce menstrual leave ?
Good news before person go chop anothing join .
I doubt if this is true because there are hormonal placebo pills for working class ladies that solves the challenge of menses and India is known for medicine.
Endy Endy...hmmm
I hope they will also give men erection leave....e go make sense wella.
Menstruation is not sickness,it is nothing to be ashamed of,some people may need leave as some still face painful menstruation,but no lady or girl child should be ashamed,the day I saw me menses for the first time,I wasn't alarmed because my mom had already told me so much about it,to a point that I also thought others how to use the pad even before mine came,pads should be given free to women instead of condoms
