Hello Everyone,

Thank you for believing in the cause. I am so happy to see the support coming from each one of you. I am delighted to share with you that on this World Menstrual Hygiene Day, I delivered my petition to Susanta Singh, then Minister of Rural Development & Labour, ESI. It also got featured in OdishaTV, Kanak News, ETVBharat, The Print, Daily Pioneer. This gives me hope.

A 2019 survey had revealed that about three in four women report experiencing cramps just before or during their period. Recently a Chinese tennis player’s French Open dream was crushed as she wasn’t able to play due to menstrual cramps. She says that she always has terrible pain on her first day and she can't go against her nature. If this doesn’t prove the need for menstrual leaves, I don’t know what will. It’s enough. How many more battles will women have to fight? 

Please share this petition to help me reach 5000 signatures. Click here to share this petition on Whatsapp. Every sign is valuable.

Thank you for all your support,
Ranjeeta Priyadarshini
