We want the government to require workforces to allow women to have 1-3 days leave per month (outside of holiday and sick leave) during their menstrual phase.

Require employers to give employees a paid day of leave on their birthday
I believe that no one should ever have to work on their birthday. I ask the government to consider requiring employers to give employees a paid day of leave on their birthday.
Introduce Statutory Menstrual Leave For People With Fibroids and PCOS
We urge the Government to introduce statutory paid menstrual leave of up to 3 days per month for people with fibroids and PCOS, similar to Portugal’s model. We believe leave should come with strong workplace protections, be confidential and require a single annual medical certificate.
Require employers to pay unused annual leave or carry it over to the next year
Every year 1000s of workers do not claim their full annual leave entitlement for many reasons. It should be law for employers to pay all unused holiday at the end of each year or carry it over. Employers budget for it and should not benefit from those who are happy to work rather than have time off.
Require all employers to include parental leave policies in job listings
Require all employers to include parental leave policies clearly in job listings. Some studies show only a small percentage currently do so. Making it a legal requirement could help ensure fair access to information. We believe without it, discrimination, unfair withdrawal of offers could result.
Require employers give employees 3 months sick pay when cancer is diagnosed
I want the government to have a policy in place to help all cancer patients financially. I feel that for the first couple of months, cancer patients need to focus on their diagnosis. Having 3 months of full sick pay in place could allow them to focus on what they are dealing with.
