Require extra time be offered for female students experiencing menstrual pain

Petition Details

Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, can cause major discomfort and distress, which can leading to difficulty concentrating and performing academically. One study found that women reported that their academic performance had been negatively affected by menstrual pain.

Additional Information

We believe it is crucial to address this issue in our educational system. We propose granting an additional 30 minutes exam time for female students dealing with period pain. This extra time could help reduce the stress associated with managing menstrual discomfort while focusing on an important examination.

This isn't about gaining an unfair advantage; it's about creating a fairer environment where all students can perform at their best despite natural biological processes beyond their control.
