Women lead today’s world and occupy the workspace as well. Studies suggest that the absenteeism and dropout ratio in educational institutions and corporate workplaces can be improved drastically by implying appropriate and women-centric menstrual hygiene policies. Corporates and educational institutes in 3rd world countries need to understand the impact of menstrual cycles on the mental health, self-confidence, productivity, and physical health of female employees and students. Since cycles take place every month and can last for five days and in cases, a week. This also accounts for many of the cases when unexpected periods occur. Resultantly, they need to deal with the cycles in public-cum-closed spaces.

To deal with periods better, it is imperative to ensure easy access to feminine pads so that they could not only be able to focus on their work or education but also have an incentive to work comfortably during the cycle days. Such measures not only make women feel supportive and confident but also inspire others to follow the similar model of a period-friendly workplace.
