‘Like being stabbed’: B.C. MP pushing for Canadian paid period leave
Imagine you’re at your place of work and suddenly you have to decide this: “If I’m going to puke or if I’m going to tough it out.”
“I have to take a minute, I have to stop, I have to like let it happen, or I lose focus,” Davis-Stevenson said. “I’m just in a lot of pain because my job is super busy.” “I’ve had my period for 24 years and it’s been terrible, terrible pain to manage,” said Last, who was inspired by legislation in Spain. “I get this type of pain where it’s like being stabbed in my abdomen and the knife is being dragged down to my knee on repeat. I’m also super sick with nausea and vomiting during it. So this is how I’ve been living for 24 years, every single month.”
Some of the concerns individuals have had with the idea of a paid period leave is that it could be exploited.
