World Menopause Day, observed annually on 18 October, serves as a vital reminder of the importance of menopause awareness, education, and support.  

Why World Menopause Day Matters

While menopause is a universal experience for women, it remains one of the most under-discussed and misunderstood phases of life. Many women experience symptoms during menopause, with many reporting significant impacts on their quality of life, work performance, and relationships. Despite this, only a fraction of women receive adequate support and treatment during this transition (Avis et al., 2015). 

World Menopause Day provides an opportunity to break the silence, challenge stigma, and ensure women have access to evidence-based information and compassionate care during this significant life stage. 

Emsee In the Community

This year, Emsee is proud to host a series of events throughout October that bring together healthcare professionals, business leaders and women navigating their menopause journey to share knowledge, insights, and support.

From workplace initiatives to educational webinars and community gatherings, our mission is to help women navigate their menopause journey with confidence and improved wellbeing.
