No more stressful commute to work while on the first day of your period. Indian firm introduces FOP for female staff.

A digital media company in India announces FOP – First Day Of Period Leave Policy which gives women a valid reason to take leave. Most women experience some level of discomfort associated with their monthly Crimson Wave. For some women the discomfort is mild while for others the distress undermines their ability to go about their daily life for the first two days. The excruciating pain makes it even more difficult when you have to commute to work while spending hours sitting on the desk popping pain killers which can be harmful in the long run.
