Spain – Free with period pains – Economy

Working despite severe abdominal pain during the monthly period: women in Spain are to be freed from this in the future. This is provided for in a draft law by the left-wing government, which was presented in the cabinet on Tuesday. Accordingly, Spaniards should be given the right to stay at home in such cases. The state should bear the costs of the loss of work for as long as the pain persists. In order to be released from work, an affected woman must consult a doctor. Spain would be the first country in Europe with such a law. The draft is to be introduced as part of a new regulation of abortion law.
