Absences due to endometriosis or adenomyosis

On 27 March, the Portuguese Parliament approved Law 32/2025. This law promotes the rights of people with endometriosis or with adenomyosis by strengthening their access to healthcare and creating a regime of justified absence from work and classes of up to three consecutive days a month.

Law 32/2025 amends the Labour Code in order to provide more effective support to female workers who suffer from severe and disabling pain during their menstrual period, guaranteeing them the right to be absent from work without any loss of rights.
