'Benevolent sexism': Women managers move high court against Karnataka govt’s menstrual leave order of providing one day leave each month
Fifteen women in Bengaluru's managerial roles have challenged the Karnataka High Court against the state's menstrual leave order. They argue the policy, granting one paid day of leave monthly, violates equality rights by creating gender distinctions and potentially leading to hiring bias. Petitioners contend it reinforces stereotypes and undermines workplace equality.
