"(Menopause) If not celebrated, then at least accepted, acknowledged and honoured. 👏🏼 *Despite 13 million women in the UK feeling the effects of menopause, almost half of women haven’t spoken to their GP about their symptoms and avoid listing this as an issue on their sick note. In the workplace, 41% say they have seen menopause or menopause symptoms treated as a joke by people at work. Today on World Menopause Day, share awareness, help destigmatise and encourage acceptance and understanding of menopause. You can do this by striking up a conversation, asking if someone in your life going through menopause is OK, supporting menopause-focused organisations and sharing posts like this. *Statistics from Menopause Support UK. #MenopauseImpactsAll #YesSheCan #MenopauseAwareness
