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 compulsory and so most employers have not made it company policy.安徽并不是国内首个引入姨妈假的省份。湖北和海南之前就引入这一假期规范，但实行率非常低。海南尚未把姨妈假列为强制需要，所以大部分的老板并未将它列入公司政策。According to China.org, an investigation 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%的女人由于各种缘由不愿请假，具体缘由包含担忧暴露私生活与可能耽误工作等。Other countries and regions in Asia already offer days off. Indonesian women are entitled to take two days a month of menstrual leave.其实亚洲很多国家和区域都已经通过了姨妈假规范。印度尼西亚女人每月享有两天的姨妈假。
