Smriti Irani says she opposed menstrual hygiene policy as she doesn't want women to face harassment, bias

IndiaTimes Thursday, 21 December 2023
Union WCD Minister Smriti Irani opposes the Menstrual Hygiene Policy to prevent discrimination and harassment of women in the workplace. She believes that menstruation is not a handicap and should not require a specific policy for paid leave. Irani's personal experience and concern for women's well-being motivated her opposition in parliament. She criticizes the intention behind the question asked about providing menstrual hygiene for gay men, deeming it shocking, provocative, and attention-seeking. Irani emphasizes that her goal is to protect women from harassment and discrimination, rather than creating new challenges for them.
