HOW IT BEGAN
Women now spend over one-third of their life postmenopausal.
The majority of my friends, work colleagues and family have experienced or are experiencing symptoms of menopause. Some have felt embarrassed to discuss menopause and were unaware of the increased risk of certain medical conditions. Others have taken extensive leave from employment. The purpose of creating Menopause Alliance Australia is to provide evidence-based information and support for women who are perimenopausal and menopausal, and to extend that support to their families, friends and workplace colleagues. The strategy is to create a positive change by removing myths and barriers which are preventing women from seeking help and leading full and rewarding lives. The beneficiary of Menopause Alliance Australia’s success will be society as a whole. Menopause is a normal stage of life for half of the world’s population. We need to end the stigma to ensure that no woman is left behind and put at a disadvantage due to menopause.
It’s time to create positive change!
