Many women shy away from taking sick leave as they\u2019re afraid menstrual pain is not a valid reason. So it\u2019s high time we start addressing paid menstrual leave in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s talk about paid menstrual leave in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n<h3>Just how bad are period cramps?<\/h3>\n<p>In a short, graphic description, it\u2019s like being stabbed in the uterus with a dagger over and over again. Every woman\u2019s body is different, some women go through periods in a breeze while some struggle to complete daily activities. But what\u2019s common in all these women is that they still put aside their period and go to work. While this may sound heroic, we need to address why it can be problematic to still treat periods as taboo or perceive periods as a sign of weakness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_182485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182485\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-182485 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-2-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"A woman holding her hips, in pain of period cramps\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-2-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-2-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-2.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-182485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pain just SPREADS to other parts of the body (Photography: @sasun1990 via Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Certain health conditions like endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and fibroids can make periods extremely uncomfortable, with increased pain and heavier flow. Why do we feel the need to prioritise work over well-being? When it can get physically challenging to even step out of bed, why do women feel the pressure to fidget around on a chair for eight hours?<\/p>\n<h3>97% of menstruators said that menstrual leave has never been discussed<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womanizer.com\/us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Womanizer<\/a> conducted a survey with its global tester panel, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.womanizer.com\/sex-toy-testers-wanted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the MasturbaTEAM<\/a>, and the survey results reflect how periods are perceived by companies and women themselves. Two out of three menstruators have wanted to call in sick because of severe period pain. Yes, that\u2019s plenty of women, but only a third have actually called in sick when they were on their period.<\/p>\n<p>52% of women still believe menstrual leave is not socially acceptable, and 47% of women fear that employers will not accept period pain as a valid reason. What\u2019s worrying is that 77% of women agreed they were afraid of being rejected by companies if they took menstrual leave every month.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_182486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182486\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-182486 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-3-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"a woman sitting on the floor, clutching her knees\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-3-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-3-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/paid-menstrual-leave-hong-kong-3.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-182486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yes, a lot of women struggle with menstrual pain but very few want to talk about it. (Photography: @imani_bht via Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While most women agree that they would be more productive overall if they could take some rest whilst having their period, menstruation is still a hush hush topic. Some may debate whether it&#8217;s unfair for women to take leave every month, or that it will decrease the overall productivity of the company. But what good is working when you\u2019re on the verge of burning out from physical pain?<\/p>\n<h3>Also, let\u2019s put an end to sexist remarks.<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m talking about both inside the workplace and out. I\u2019m talking about both men and women. Sexist remarks like \u201cOh it must be that time of the month,\u201d or \u201cShe must be having PMS,\u201d are unnecessary. So what if it\u2019s that time of the month? Inserting a tampon does not affect my reasoning abilities. Talk like this pushes back the possibility of paid menstrual leave. It\u2019s not going to get us anywhere in creating a safe and nurturing environment for work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shout out to all the ladies for pulling themselves together to go to work, exercise, and take care of the baby, and much more while dealing with period cramps.
