Description: A lack of support and facilities is forcing millions of workers to call in sick during their period - costing businesses £3.25 billion a year. <br/><br/>A poll, of 2,962 adults who menstruate, found of those who work, 18 per cent of full timers and 17 per cent of part timers miss work with most or every period. <br/><br/>This equates to a collective three million days missed in total, to the costly tune of £3,249,404,927. <br/><br/>A staggering 70 per cent feel limited in the amount or type of work they can carry out during their time of the month. <br/><br/>And of those who feel they have no choice but to take time off, 67 per cent cite pain as the reason, while 61 per cent blame their heavy flow. <br/><br/>However, 14 per cent don’t go in due to the lack of facilities available to them in the workplace, while more than one in 20 (six per cent) stay home as they don’t have access to the products they need. <br/><br/>Rosanne Gray, CEO of In Kind Direct, which commissioned the research and has appealed to government, employers and the third sector with a number of recommendations to tackle the scale of period inequity with their report [https://www.inkinddirect.org/news-press-resources/the-state-of-period-equity-in-the-uk], said: “Right now, millions of people in the UK can’t access the products, education, and shame-free support they need to manage their period each month. <br/><br/>“More than 40 per cent of our charitable network are supporting someone who's regularly using toilet roll instead of pads, because they can't access the period products they need. <br/><br/>\
