The Spanish parliament passed a law giving the right for a “menstrual leave,” underscoring the efforts the country is making toward gender equality. YPulse told you how Spain has recently made the headlines for the self-determination bill, allowing people aged 16 and above to change their gender without going through a long medical process. Now, Spain is tackling the little-discussed-but-very-real issue of menstruation pain, and its impact on the career of working women. Thanks to the new bill, women will be eligible for a three-day paid menstrual leave, with an option to extend it to five days if needed. The Spanish Equality Minister called the vote “a historic day of progress for feminist rights.” (Euronews)
