World Menopause Day Speakers
World Menopause Day is observed annually on October 18th to raise awareness of menopause and its impact on women’s lives. It is a time to help people of all ages understand what can be expected during the menopause and how to identify and manage symptoms. It is also a time to advocate for better support for women during the menopausal transition.
Purpose of World Menopause Day
According to the World Health Organisation, approximately 1.2 billion women worldwide will be menopausal or peri-menopausal by 2030. While the Menopause has historically been viewed as a personal issue, as more and more evidence comes to light, it is obvious that Menopause and the workplace are more intrinsically linked than we once thought.
Studies show that 90% of female staff report that their organisation offers no menopause support. Shockingly, 10% of women actually leave their job due to Menopause symptoms. As such, it is crucial that companies see World Menopause Day on October 18th as more than just a date on the calendar, and, instead, as an opportunity to foster a more inclusive and understanding environment for all employees.
As we approach this significant day, we’re excited to introduce some of our most impressive Menopause Speakers, dedicated to raising awareness and promoting a positive dialogue around menopause.
History of World Menopause Day
World Menopause Day was established in 1999 by the International Menopause Society (IMS) along with the World Health Organisation. The IMS is a global organisation dedicated to promoting women’s health and well-being during menopause and beyond.
The purpose of World Menopause Day is to:
- Increase awareness of menopause and its symptoms
- Promote understanding of the menopausal transition
- Challenge negative stereotypes about menopause
- Advocate for better support for women during menopause
Importance of menopause awareness and support
Menopause is a natural part of life that affects most women in some capacity. However, many women feel isolated and unsupported during this time. This is due in part to a lack of awareness and understanding of menopause.
Menopause awareness is important because it helps women to understand what to expect during the menopausal transition. It also helps women to identify and manage menopause symptoms.
Menopause support is important because it provides women with the resources and information they need to navigate the menopausal journey. Support can also come from family, friends and colleagues, and help women to feel connected to others who are going through the same experience.
The impact of knowledgeable speakers on menopause awareness
Knowledgeable speakers can play a vital role in raising awareness of menopause and its impact on women’s lives. By sharing their expertise and personal experiences, speakers can help to break down taboos and stigma surrounding menopause.
Speakers can also educate audiences about the latest research on menopause and the various treatment options available. This can help women to make informed decisions about their health and well-being during menopause.
The role of speakers in destigmatising menopause
Menopause has long been shrouded in secrecy and shame. This is due in part to a lack of awareness and understanding of menopause.
Speakers can play a vital role in destigmatising menopause by sharing their personal experiences and stories. By speaking openly about menopause, speakers can help to normalise the menopausal experience and show other women that they are not alone.
Examples of how speakers can influence societal perceptions on the topic of menopause
Speakers can influence societal perceptions on menopause in a number of ways. For example, speakers can:
- Challenge negative stereotypes about menopause
- Share positive stories about women who are thriving during menopause
- Educate audiences about the importance of menopause awareness and support
