New menstrual law allowing women a day off at work each month causes stir in social media

Zambian women day off

Mass reaction across the globe trails a fresh law which permits female employees in Zambia to go on a day off per month during their monthly period.

Sources reported that the purpose of the law is to help female workers sort out their menstrual cramps, thus attracting both positive and some kind of ridiculous reaction from users of social media. Some are even saying such a law should be introduced in the United States.

Below are some the excerpts of the reactions:

New Zambia labour law allows women one paid day off monthly when they are having their periods; called Mothers Day but applies to all women.

@wateraid
Should women be given a 'day off' per month to manage their period, as they are in Zambia? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-38490513 … #MothersDay #menses
