(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 27 - An artistic high school in the
Romagna city of Ravenna has introduced an optional two days of
leave for students who have certified menstrual pains.
Head teacher Gianluca Dradi said the "democratic" move was the
first of its kind in Italy.
The two days off for students with period pains will not be
counted towards the number of days they need to complete the
school year, said Dradi, head of the Liceo Artistico
'Nervi-Severini'.
The school is already among many in Italy to left students who
identify with a gender different from their birth one to use a
trans alias. (ANSA).
