Japanese store 'rethinks' badges for staff on periods bbc.com

Image copyright WWD JapanA Japanese department store where staff could wear badges if they were on their period has said it will "rethink" that policy.
The Daimaru branch at Osaka Umeda introduced the badges in October for the 500 or so staff in the women's wardrobe section.
The badges, which were voluntary, were introduced after a suggestion from store employees themselves, and were linked to the opening of a new section of the store.
Ms Higuchi said some staff "didn't see the point" in the badges or were "reluctant" to wear them.
While social media has contributed to this openness, another impetus has been the experience of many women in shelters during natural disasters.
