Apstrakt

Menstrualno odsustvo je jedna od novina u španskom pravnom sistemu. Izmenom svog radnog prava u cilju priznavanja prava na menstrualno odsustvo, španski zakonodavci su ovu temu vratili u centar pažnje evropskog radnog prava. Iako je priznato u raznim pravnim sistemima širom sveta, a posebno u Aziji, pravo na menstrualno odsustvo nije ustanovljeno kao standard međunarodnog radnog prava. Stoga postoji mnogo otvorenih pitanja u vezi sa njegovim priznavanjem, sadržinom pravnog instituta, kao i posledicama njegovog uvođenja u radno zakonodavstvo. Autori se bave pitanjem da li menstrualno odsustvo predstavlja potrebu žena na radu, pa se njegovo uvođenje u radno pravo može tretirati kao progresivan zakonodavni razvoj. Ako jeste, šta je opravdanje za uvođenje takvog posebnog odsustva i u kojim okolnostima ga treba obezbediti? Da bi se ova pitanja detaljnije analizirala, istraživanje je podeljeno u nekoliko delova. Nakon uvodnog dela, autori se bave razlozima za i protiv uvođenja menstrualnog odsustva u nacionalno zakonodavstvo. Sledi uporedna analiza normativnih rešenja u svim zemljama koje priznaju pravo na menstrualno odsustvo i kratka analiza mogućnosti uvođenja ovog prava u pravne tekovine Evropske unije. U završnim razmatranjima autori nude širu sliku potencijalne uloge i položaja menstrualnog odsustva u nacionalnom radnom pravu i antidiskriminacionom pravu.
