A woman in Georgia is suing her former employer after she was fired, allegedly for two period leaks that occurred as she was going through pre-menopause.
Alicia Coleman worked as a 911 call taker at the Bobby Dodd Institute in Fort Benning, Georgia, which helps people with disabilities, for almost a decade before she was fired in 2016. According to the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, Coleman was fired for “experiencing two incidents of sudden onset, heavy menstrual flow, a symptom of pre-menopause.”
“I loved my job at the 911 call center because I got to help people,” Coleman said in a statement shared by the Aclu.
