In Karnataka, women employees to get one day menstrual leave every month

Karnataka has become the first state to approve a comprehensive menstrual leave policy, granting women in government and private sectors one paid day off per month. This initiative aims to promote dignity and wellbeing at work, recognizing menstrual leave as a women's right. The policy follows similar, though less extensive, provisions in other states and by individual companies.
