MADRID - Spain's cabinet on Tuesday approved a bill which grants paid medical leave for women who suffer from severe period pain, in what would be a first in Europe.
It was not clear whether Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's minority coalition government, which has made women's rights a priority, has enough support in the assembly to pass it.with some saying it could stigmatise women in the workplace and favour the recruitment of men. Montero belongs to the far-left Podemos party, Sanchez's junior coalition partner which has been the driving force behind the law.
The Spanish legislation is part of a much wider reproductive health reform which will include changes to the country's abortion laws.It will end the requirement for minors of 16 and 17 to obtain parental consent before terminating a pregnancy and include measure to boost access to abortion at private hospitals.
