Story Text

En Zambia, la menstruación es un tema que no se habla abiertamente, por eso hay una ley laboral del país llamada Día de la madre. Esta ley le permite a las mujeres tomarse un día libre al mes. La regla no es exclusivamente para las madres; todas las mujeres pueden tomarse el día libre, incluso aquellas que no tienen hijos. Las mujeres pueden elegir el día que quieran y no necesitan ir al médico. Algunas mujeres piensan que esta es una buena regla porque la menstruación puede ser muy dolorosa. Sin embargo, algunas personas han expresado desagrado ante esta ley. Argumentan que la regla no es clara y que algunas personas pueden abusar de ella. Algunas personas en línea dicen que la ley ayuda a las mujeres pero también causa problemas en el lugar de trabajo.
