Last week, I joined Labour's Shadow Women and Equalities Minister Carolyn Harris MP, in marking World Menopause Day, which is an international awareness call for women suffering physically and emotionally when approaching, during and beyond, the menopause. With 67% of UK women saying there is a general lack of support or advice around menopause, it is more important than ever to improve public understanding of the menopause and its symptoms so that women no longer feel they need to suffer in silence.
