Now a strange statement made by a cafe owner regarding his female employees has gained a lot of attention. He demanded that female employees should wear a red sticker if they are menstruating.
The owner of the shop is Anthony from Australia. He says that during menstruation, women are under emotional stress and have hormonal problems, that’s why he issued such a statement. In such a situation there were some problems with the two women employees. It happened in front of customers. He also said that to avoid such situations, one should wear a sticker to reveal that one is menstruating.
So the female employees are asked to wear a red tag at that time. It helps people understand that they are on their period and helps them understand more and give them the space they need, says the owner.
