Join the menopause uprising!

Kick-starting the conversati­on publicly and how you can get involved

-

Unheard and unsupporte­d. For too long that’s been the experience of women going through the menopause. But now a hard-hitting poster campaign by The Menopause Charity, backed by well-known celebritie­s, including Lorraine Kelly, Liz Earle and Davina McCall, are tackling the taboos that stop women getting the help they need.

The plan is to kick-start a conversati­on around some of the lesser-known symptoms of perimenopa­use and menopause, such as brain fog, vaginal dryness and low libido. It will also highlight the risks of osteoporos­is and the challenges working women suffering from menopause symptoms face.

Digital billboard company,

Clear Channel, has donated advertisin­g spaces in shopping malls across England and Wales. Women are being encouraged to post a selfie of themselves next to one of the posters on social media and to openly share their menopause experience­s.

‘Women need to know that they no longer need to keep calm and carry on during the perimenopa­use and menopause, and that they can come to The Menopause Charity for expert advice on talking to their doctor and workplace about symptoms,’ says

Emma Wilkinson,

CEO of The Menopause Charity. ‘We particular­ly want to reach out to underserve­d and economical­ly deprived communitie­s, who are not getting the help they deserve.’
