【意大利】意大利建议推出月经假

ITALY PROPOSED TO INTRODUCE A MONTHLY VACATION AT THE TIME OF MENSTRUATION

Italy may introduce a monthly three-day holiday for workers with painful menstrual periods. In the case of the adoption of this law it will become the first Western country with such practices against women. On Saturday, March 25, reports The Independent.

The lower house of the Italian Parliament started discussion of a bill that would force employers each month to pay three days of leave for employees who experience pain during menstruation. The document was prepared by four deputies-women from the ruling Democratic party.

According to the publication, in the country there are those who fear that the law could discredit the women who fight for gender equality. In hiring, men be given a higher priority by staff.

A similar law has already been introduced in some Eastern countries, for example, in Japan and South Korea.

    独立报在3月25日报道，意大利可能会为因月经而痛苦的女员工提供一个每月为期3天的假期。如果这项提案通过，意大利将成为第一个为妇女提供月经假的西方国家。

    意大利议会的下院正在讨论这项提案，不过这会使得公司每个月为在月经期间女员工提供三天带薪假期。该意见稿是由执政的民主党派的四位代表妇女提供的。

    不过在意大利，也有人担心这项法案可能会抹杀女性的公平权益。在招聘时，企业可能会更加优先考虑男性员工。

    在一些东方国家里已经有类似的法律，例如日本、韩国。
