Zambia has made a provision in the country’s labour law that allows
female workers to take off one day a month known as Mother’s Day during
their menstruation period, even though it applies to all women, whether
or not they have children.
The legal definition is not precise – women can take the day when they want and do not have to provide any medical justification, leading some to question the provision.
Women in Zambia do not need to make prior arrangements to be absent
from work, but can simply call in on the day to say they are taking
Mother’s Day. An employer who denies female employees this entitlement
can be prosecuted.
