Women with severe period pain will be allowed up to three days of menstrual leave each month, as part of the Spanish government’s new reform plan set to be approved next week.
The Spanish Gynaecology and Obstetrics Society reported that close to a third of women who menstruate suffer from dysmenorrhea, which is severe pain, with the amount increasing when considering pre-menstrual pain.
“If someone has an illness with such symptoms a temporary disability is granted, so the same should happen with menstruation – allowing a woman with a very painful period to stay at home,” Spanish secretary of state for equality told El Periodico.
Other proposals within the reform bill include a requirement for schools to provide sanitary pads for students who require them, making pads & tampons free for socially-marginalised women and the removal of VAT from the sale price of women’s sanitary products.
Spain’s left-wing government is also planning to make abortion more available by abolishing the requirement of parental permission for individuals aged 16 and 17 whilst also guaranteeing access to abortion in public hospitals.
Should we adopt these measures in Malta?

A 30-year-old Paola resident by the name of Melvin Debono has been charged in Court after an argument reportedly took place in the queue at the McDonald’s Drive Thru in Għargħur.
The squabble took place on Sunday, where the two customers were in their car, queueing and waiting to be served. Whilst waiting in line, Debono honked his horn at the patron in front of him, to which the man at the front responded saying that he was also waiting to be served.
A verbal argument began to escalate, with Debono eventually exiting his car to threaten the man in front of him. Debono is also reported to have said that he was going to shoot the driver and make them into a corpse, whilst also damaging the other man’s car.
Debono had to pay €652.40 in damages as well as €1,000 in court fines.
