Spain passes law allowing women to take paid menstrual leave — first in Europe According to the law, women will be allowed to stay at home for a few hours during the working day or take medical leave if pain prevents them from working.

Spain has approved a law allowing women with painful periods to take paid menstrual leave from work.

Additionally, the law allows 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds to get an abortion without parental consent and expands public financing of contraceptives. “From today you already have the right to leave work for painful menstruation, for voluntary termination of pregnancy and for the last weeks of gestation that we approved with the new law on abortion, sexual and reproductive health and sexual education,” the minister tweeted.
