A viral campaign that simulates period pain with electrical stimuli stirs up the debate on menstrual loss in France. Ten deputies share their reactions in a video during the processing of a bill to obtain 13 days of leave a year.
The objective was to gather support for a bill presented by environmentalists that seeks to establish menstrual leave in the country. The images of the deputies screaming, laughing nervously or writhing in pain were shared more than 4,000 times on the social network X and accumulated more than two million views.
