Candidate for the 35th City Council District Renee Collymore (Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Downtown Brooklyn) has decided to launch her first of many progressive policies centered around women.
“It is unfair to keep holding women to these expectations when our intense, natural menstrual pain is preventing us from carrying out our normal work duties. This is why I am proposing a one week paid menstrual leave for all women. The pandemic has proven that remote work is effective, so when we are back in the office, this should be an additional menstrual leave option available to women,” said Collymore.
