2023 October Webinar: A Pause on the Female Summer

On the 18th October 2023 the world celebrates World Menopause Day.

There is a growing body of research that suggests that how a society perceives and responds to menopause, can impact the severity of symptoms that a woman experiences.

This is why it’s so important to smash the stigmas and taboos about menopause, so we can build a “menopositive” society. Did you know that over 10 million South African women are navigating menopause alone and are unsupported?
