Pass The Health, Equity, and Rights (HER) Agenda Bills Starting with; The Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act. This first-of-its-kind legislation would provide 12 days of paid leave for symptoms related to reproductive health conditions and procedures, including but not limited to menstrual pain, menopause, endometriosis, IUD insertion, pregnancy terminations, vasectomies, and fertility treatments. Why it’s needed: In a 2019 study, 13.8% of women respondents reported absenteeism during menstruation and 80.7% reported presenteeism (the act of showing up for work or school without being productive). In another study, 65% of respondents in menopause reported work performance impacts, and 18% had taken sick leave. This bill ensures workers don’t have to face losing income or relying on limited sick days. This is just one step in providing real comprehensive health care for those with a uterus.
