Menstrual leave, which allows workers to take time off due to their period s, is not a particularly new concept. Russia had a history of offering it in the 1920s, while Japan introduced it into labor law in 1947. Other Asian countries, like South Korea and Indonesia, also enacted similar policies of period leave in the 1950s.
