Zambia has made a provision in the country's
labour law that allows female workers to take off
one day a month known as Mother's Day during their menstruation period, even though it applies to all women, whether or not they have children.
The legal definition is not precise - women can take
the day when they want and do not have to provide
any medical justification, leading some to question the
provision.
"I think it's a good law because women go through
a lot when they are on their menses [periods]," says
Ndekela Mazimba, who works in public relations in an
interview with BBC.
Ms Mazimba is neither married nor does she have
children but she takes her Mother's Day every
month because of her grueling period pains.
"You might find that on the first day of your
menses, you'll have stomach cramps - really bad
stomach cramps. You can take whatever painkillers but end up in bed the whole day.
"And sometimes, you find that someone is irritable
before her menses start, but as they progress, it
gets better. So, in my case, it's just the first day to
help when the symptoms are really bad."
Women in Zambia do not need to make prior
arrangements to be absent from work, but can
simply call in on the day to say they are taking
Mother's Day.
An employer who denies female employees this
entitlement can be prosecuted.
