'Period leave': Should this be offered to NZ female employees?

This topic can make some people a little red in the face. But don't panic, it's completely natural and we are talking about menstruation -- but more specifically menstrual leave.

So could this policy be adopted in New Zealand and what are the chances of that happening here?
