Menstrual leave is a type of leave where a person may have the option to take paid or unpaid leave from their employment if they are menstruating and are unable to go to work because of this.[1][2] Throughout its history, menstrual leave has been associated with controversy and discrimination against men, with very few countries enacting policies. In these countries, menstrual leave is still associated with low uptake.[1] It is seen by some as a criticism of women's work efficiency or as sexism[3][4][5] against men. Supporters of menstrual leave policies compare its function to that of maternity leave and view it as a promoter of gender equality.[6]
