The topic is definitely not relevant. After the rejection by the Senate of a bill which provided for the establishment of a menstrual leave in February, the new reformulated text was in turn rejected on Wednesday 27 March. The painful cycle simulator tested a few days ago by deputies evidently did not convince.
According to Nupes MP Louis Boyard, “ with 16 votes against 16, Article 1 of the law is rejected. The Macronists voted against. The National Grouping had a pool and abstained. What a pity.” This is article 1 of the bill “Recognize and protect menstrual and gynecological health in the world of work”.
This text provided for the possibility for women to have up to 13 days of sick leave per year, without shortage AND fully paid by health insurancesubject aa medical certificate. It was also aimed at allowing teleworking at this time of the month or opening negotiations in companies and the public service to plan work adjustments. In a story on Instagram, Marie-Charlotte Garin, the environmentalist MP who led this project, however wants to be optimistic. “16 votes against 16, this shows that there is hope, we are not far from the majority. We must continue to mobilize, this is the meaning of the story! »

One in two women today suffer from period pain, sometimes due to endometriosis and there is currently nothing in place in companies to alleviate this problem which can have a significant impact on the organisation’s work.

However, more and more companies are addressing the topic, such as Carrefour which, from summer 2023, offers twelve days of authorized absence per year for its employees suffering from endometriosis. Furthermore, 66% of French women support the introduction of menstrual leave.
