THE IMPACT
Period discomfort is a workplace issue.
Period pain is one of the leading causes of unplanned absence in women but most won’t say so. Not because they don’t want to. Because they don’t feel like they can. “When a woman can’t say ‘I’m having a really painful period, can I work from home today?’ she calls in sick instead. The fix isn’t complicated. It’s just a conversation that hasn’t happened yet.”
