India govt drops menstrual queries
0 Comments | AFP, April, 2007
NEW DELHI (AFP) — The Indian government has decided to drop intrusive questions relating to the menstrual history of female bureaucrats in a new service review form after it caused a furore, a report said Thursday.
"A decision to this effect has been taken considering the sensitivity of the issue," an unnamed senior official of the Ministry of Personnel told The Times of India.
"A fresh notification deleting those female-specific clauses will be issued shortly," the official said.
The performance appraisal form introduced in March has a three-page health section that asks women for a "detailed menstrual history," information on their "last confinement," and about their pap smears and mammograms, according to a copy of the questionnaire seen by AFP.
