Menstruacja

Addressing menstruation-related needs in the workplace in an effective manner requires thorough education at earlier stages.

War will not stop menstruation. To the contrary – it can only exacerbate the level of menstrual poverty in our country. Like all women, Ukrainians fleeing to Poland need access to hygiene products, too. This imposes new responsibilities on their future employers.

‘Female workers from Ukraine will be in a weaker bargaining position. This is a huge challenge for the labour inspectorate: to ensure equality in employment is enforced when hiring people from Poland and Ukraine’, said Dr. Iga Magda, Vice President of the Institute for Structural Research, Professor at the Department of Economics of the Warsaw School of Economics.

‘Business is still a man’s world. Profit still comes first, while our responsibility for the shape of our world is largely ignored’, said Beata Moskal-Słaniewska, Mayor of Świdnica.
