World Menopause Day

Lodged by Pam Gosal Members' Business Motion 37 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises 18 October 2021 as World Menopause Day; believes that the menopause has for too long been a taboo subject in society; notes with concern what it sees as the lack of readily available information about menopause, as women experience it in a variety of ways, and further notes calls on employers to help alleviate menopause stigma, take practical steps to improve workplace policies and remove barriers to better support women experiencing menopausal symptoms.
