Menstrual Leave Policy in Karnataka, India

A state in India called Karnataka has made a new rule. Women who work in offices and companies can now take one day off every month when they have their period. This is called menstrual leave.

The rule helps many women, but not all. Women who work in homes or on the streets are not included. Some people think this is a good idea. They say it helps women who feel pain during their period.

But some people worry it might cause problems. They think it could make it harder for women to get jobs. In India, many people still don't like to talk about periods. This new rule might help change that.
