Female police personnel in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, will now receive menstrual leave each month, a pioneering initiative for the region.
Currently, the Assam Police does not provide menstrual leave to active-duty female personnel, though training officers can access it during their training period. This policy, however, does not extend beyond the academy, leaving female officers on the field without the same consideration.
India has seen a gradual shift in its approach toward menstrual health policies. In 2017, Bihar became the first Indian state to introduce a two-day menstrual leave policy for female government employees, setting a precedent for other states to consider similar measures.
