VOICED : Zambia's day off for periods stokes debate over abuse

The video discusses a Zambian labor law allowing women to take a day off during their period, known as Mother's Day. This law, enacted in 2015, is unique in Africa and similar to laws in some Asian countries. While it helps women manage their physiological needs, it faces criticism for potentially reducing productivity. The government defends the law, arguing that women take the day off at different times, minimizing impact on businesses. Despite Zambia's economic challenges, many women view the law as progressive in a culture where discussing sexuality is often taboo.
