#Breaking Karnataka HC holds 'Right to Menstrual Leave' as a facet of 'Right to Life'.

"...Men and women stand equal in the eyes of the law; yet, they are biologically distinct. To acknowledge such differences, particularly in matters concerning health, dignity, and bodily autonomy, is not to transgress the guarantee of equality, but to give it substantive meaning", order reads. "....While the organized sectors may be regulated through Government orders and legislative intervention, the unorganized sector requires a more
facilitative mechanism. However beyond regulatory
frameworks, what remains imperative is, a sustained and pervasive effort to sensitize all segments of society, reaching every corner of the State to foster awareness, empathy and compliance."
