Rejected petition The government should let woman have days off when they start their period.

The Government should make it legal that woman could take a day or two off from work when they’re on their period.

More details

This is so important as most of the women in the UK struggle to take a day off when they’re on their period as it’s not a “ good excuse ” to be off . The struggle they go through is sometimes worse than a cold . Not just off work but also off school too.
I think it’s just fair that they get to have the day off so they won’t need to be in more pain as they already are.
As some of us go through a lot of pain and suffering during our period times .
