印度最高法院拒绝强制性月经假,称其具有歧视性,敦促采取自愿政策。 India's Supreme Court rejects mandatory menstrual leave, calling it discriminatory and urging voluntary policies instead.

印度最高法院拒绝为女学生和女工制定全国性的月经假政策,警告说,强制休假可能强化性别陈规定型观念,阻止雇主雇用妇女。 The Supreme Court of India has declined to mandate a nationwide menstrual leave policy for women students and workers, warning that compulsory leave could reinforce gender stereotypes and discourage employers from hiring women. 法院承认一些州和公司的自愿倡议,但强调此类政策仍应是任择性的,应由行政部门通过利益攸关方协商而不是通过司法命令作出决定。 While acknowledging voluntary initiatives by some states and companies, the court emphasized that such policies should remain optional and that decisions should be made by the executive through stakeholder consultations, not judicial order. 申诉被驳回,法院指示有关当局从行政上考虑该问题。 The petition was dismissed, with the court directing the appropriate authorities to consider the issue administratively.
