Karnataka will enforce a menstrual leave policy for all women employees, including the private sector, following a high court order. The government aims to enact the Karnataka Menstrual Leave and Hygiene Bill, 2025, to provide a day's paid leave monthly. This move acknowledges the physical and psychological impact of menstruation on women workers.
