To normalise conversations around Menopause and its implications on physical and mental health, a campaign will be initiated as a part of the Daan Utsav- Festival of Giving which will take place from October 2 to 8.
“It is critical to have a discussion on this and for many women like me, we have not had any conversations about this growing up. The little knowledge that we had about menopause and the effect it has on our mental and physical health was only by observing other women around us,” said Aarti Madhusudhan, a volunteer with the Daan Utsav.
She said that it was concerning as to how even school textbooks had little to no information about the menopausal phase women go through. “It is especially important to reach out to women from underprivileged communities who might not have access to information or healthcare to address their concerns regarding the same,” she added.
