New law in Kenya gives women the right to two days a month for menstrual leave

In Kenya, a recent law has given women the right to request two days off per month for menstrual pain. So far, time off is only being granted to government workers in Nairobi county - an area that includes the country's capital city. But advocates say this is a breakthrough for the country and taboos around the topic of menstruation. Audrey Mugeni is a women's rights activist based in Nairobi, and speaks with Host Carolyn Beeler about the law and what inspired it.
