Day off taboo.

It all started off with the advent of this world  and will continue till the end of this world.  Survival began against the existence of one natural phenomenon in women life i.e. menstrual cycles, forcing females to change their life style and discomfort themselves in this male dominated society against a standard biological process that has drawn many negative stereotypical taboos on discussion and now-a-days an open conversation of women participation in the workplace is a heated topic on debate, women are biologically different and everyone needs to acknowledge this truth, it's a part of life that should never be shameful. Menstrual pain doesn't make women weaker,  it translate them into a much stronger person that they hardly realize they are bleeding down, a natural ocurring biological cycles that is not an illness, it's a routine pain which a women bears in personal and professional fronts. All this discussion on menstrual pain is for Menstural leave.... Yes that loaded term for the one who have never experienced severe cramps (dysmenorrhoea) of menstruals, the question of menstrual leave goes against the gender equality, people don't understand that their is a need for period leave such ignorance has converted biological process into stereotypical taboo. A day off to stabilize in severe cramps is a need of the healthy and happy women in working atmosphere it should be accepted as a part of life and for the best interest of female employees a paid sick leave should be an official norm  - A study has shown that nine out of ten women suffered period pain when they were at work while only 27% could tell their bosses about it.  Few countries have officially recognized the significance of mestural leave among them are Japan,  Taiwan, Indonesia, South Korea and Zambia. In India 'Culture Machine and Gossip' are two companies who came forward in support of paid day off for menstrual cycles so far. Study report predicts the future of working ladies in the society who in their usual routines don't skip any part of their work but rather forcefully accept the pain and challenges in this uncomfortable situation.
