European Diversity Month brings menstrual health into focus

In celebration of European Diversity Month, EUPeace hosts a series of lectures and webinars in the month of May that focus on various topics of diversity issues.

The fourth session of our series will take place on 18 May 2026 to discuss the topic of “Menstrual leave: Health and Equity in Inclusive Universities“.

In France, several universities have introduced menstrual leave for students. The webinar will discuss how this measure was implemented at the University of Limoges. It will explore the considerations that led to its development, as well as how it is put into practice.
