The Sikkim High Court, which comprises three judges and nine officers, including one woman, is setting a new standard in addressing women’s health needs in the workplace. This initiative highlights the Court’s commitment to supporting its female staff, especially in the absence of a national menstrual leave policy.
Previous efforts to establish a nationwide policy on menstrual leave have faced challenges, emphasising the need for legislative action to protect women’s reproductive health rights. The Sikkim High Court’s decision sets an important precedent and could inspire other institutions across India to adopt similar policies.
We strive to make a lasting impact on India’s policy and planning landscape through fair, unbiased, and incisive research based journalism.
But we can’t do it alone.
Together, we can create a better India, where policies are fair, planning is unbiased, and the truth prevails. Your contribution matters, and we shall be immensely grateful for your support.
