Abstract [en]

This Thesis examines the controversy surrounding menstrual leave by centering the real-life experiences of menstruators in the workplace and analyzing their relevance to the menstrual leave debate. Adopting a mixed-method approach combining content analysis and literature review, this research applies the theoretical framework of Feminist Standpoint Theory to explore the perspectives of historically marginalized groups. The findings reveal that menstruators face similar challenges across diverse contexts, suggesting the potential effectiveness of menstrual leave in addressing these issues. However, the research also acknowledges the existence of valid concerns and negative aspects associated with menstrual leave policies. Lastly, the uncertain impact of menstrual leave policies on menstruators is acknowledged, emphasizing the nuanced nature of the debate and the coexistence of benefits and drawbacks. The findings highlight the significance of intersectionality in shaping policies and policy outcomes to address the diverse needs of menstruators in varying social positions.
