　　Anhui isn't the first province in the country to introduce leave for severe menstrual pain. Hubei and Hainan provinces also offer this type of leave however the take up has been fairly low. Hainan province haven't made the leave compulsory⁵ and so most employers have not made it company policy.

　　安徽省并非国内首个引入“姨妈假”的省份。湖北省和海南省之前就引入这一假期制度，但执行率很低。海南省尚未把“姨妈假”列为强制要求，所以大多数的老板并未将其列入公司政策。

　　According to China.org, an investigation⁶ carried out last year showed that around 20 percent of women would not take up the opportunity for various reasons including exposing their private lives and causing delays in work.

　　据中新网报道，去年一项调查显示，20%的女性因为各种原因不愿请假，具体原因包括担心暴露私生活以及可能耽误工作等。
