'No One Will Hire Women': Supreme Court Sparks Nationwide Debate Over Menstrual Leave At Workplaces

Описание: India’s top court has sparked a major debate over menstrual leave in workplaces. During a hearing in the Supreme Court of India, Chief Justice Surya Kant raised concerns about the unintended consequences of making menstrual leave mandatory under law. The court warned that employers might begin to see women as a hiring risk if companies are legally required to provide such leave. According to the bench, a compulsory law could reinforce stereotypes about women’s physical capacity and ultimately reduce employment opportunities. The petition seeking nationwide menstrual leave rules was filed by advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi. Supporters say the policy recognises biological realities and ensures dignity for women at work. However, the court emphasised that awareness and voluntary policies may be a better path than mandatory legislation. The remarks have triggered a nationwide discussion on workplace equality, gender justice and how policies can empower women without creating unintended barriers.
