Carrefour will offer days off for employees suffering from endometriosis, a first in France. This disease, very painful, affects one in 10 women but has long been taboo. Should we go even further?
From the summer of 2023, Carrefour employees suffering from endometriosis, particularly painful periods, will be entitled to 12 days of absence per year, financed by the company. Three days will also be offered in the event of a miscarriage. “I find it very good for women who have this disease”confides Pauline Louvet, hostess at Carrefour.
An association invites to “continue with other pathologies”
“Carrefour is paving the way, it will give visibility to these invisible female diseases, and of course we must continue with other pathologies afterwards”, comments Yasmine Candau, president of the EndoFrance association. The systematic right to menstrual leave is not currently provided by Carrefour. Even if one in two French people suffers from painful menstruation, only a handful of SME bosses have taken the plunge.
