Fresh News – A Global Step for Women’s Health!

Just this week, the Karnataka Government (India) approved the Menstrual Leave Policy 2025

— giving women 1 paid day of leave every month across government and private sectors.  

Here in Zambia, we already have Mother’s Day Leave — one day each month for all women workers.  

💡 What does this mean?  

It shows that women’s health is finally being recognized as a priority at the workplace.  

It is about dignity, inclusion, and respect for women’s natural biology and roles.  

When two very different regions — India and Zambia — embrace similar ideas, the message is powerful:  

👉 Women everywhere deserve workplaces that value compassion and equality, not only productivity.  

As an obstetrician & women’s health advocate in Lusaka, I truly believe such policies should be celebrated and expanded globally.
