The Social Justice Group in the House of Councilors tabled a law proposal that seeks to cover sick leave for workers experiencing period pain.
Spain, South Korea, and Indonesia are among the few countries in the world to give working women paid leave during menstruation.
This proposed law, which was drawn up by MPs Mustafa Al-Dahmani, Saeed Shaker and Mustafa Bin Faqih, stated that the health difficulties that women face during this stage are obstacles to professional equality and the advancement of women’s position in the administration.
The proposal bets on introducing the legal basis that enables female employees who face difficulties during their period to benefit from permission to be absent without the need to provide medical evidence every time.
Based on their permission, female employees are granted permission to be absent for a period not exceeding two days each month, taking into account their health condition during menstruation.
The proposal also introduces a sickness license that employees could use if they have a legally proven disease that renders work difficult.
The MPs did not specify how much the law would cost the Moroccan government.
