“Things are moving forward”, reacts Sandrine Rousseau, deputy Europe-Ecology The Greens (EELV) of Paris, on franceinfo Wednesday April 19. Carrefour employees who suffer from endometriosis will be able to have from this summer 2023 days of absence financed by the company, announces the sign in The Parisian Today in France. “It would be good for the state to move in this direction” too, she adds.

“It would be normal for these pathologies, specifically female, to finally be recognized in the world of work. Endometriosis causes sometimes unbearable pain for some women, which even goes as far as paralysis. It is not a small pathology. “

Sandrine Rousseau explains that two deputies from the environmental group in the National Assembly, Sebastien Peytavie and Marie-Charlotte Garin, are also “considering proposing a 14-day menstrual leave law”beyond what the Carrefour group announced.

“We generally work on the specificities of women’s bodies in the world of work. It would be good to finally make them visible. For example, there are also women who have an extremely difficult and painful menopause. They could benefit from this particular leave.”
