🚨 Menopause & Work: Why Are Women Still Struggling? 🚨

💼 Did you know? 

Up to 10% of women consider quitting work due to menopause—and that number may be even higher! 😧 Let’s talk about why menopause is forcing women out of the workplace and what needs to change! 👇

💔 Menopause is Making Women Leave Work!

• 😓 Symptoms like brain fog, exhaustion & lack of confidence make work overwhelming.

• 🚪 In the past, women retired early—but today, that’s not always an option due to pension changes.

• 👩‍💼 Many women work hard to reach senior positions—why should menopause force them out?

📄 The Struggle with Sick Notes & Employers

• 🏥 Doctors can’t always write ‘menopause’ on a sick note—employers might not take it seriously.

• 😞 Some women feel forced to use "anxiety & depression" instead—leading to workplace stigma.

• 🚧 This creates barriers—employers might wrongly assume menopausal employees are unfit to work.

🛑 Menopause is STILL a Taboo—And Not Just Because of Men!

• 🤫 Many people—both men AND women—dismiss, misunderstand, or ignore menopause struggles.

• 🚺 Younger women who haven't experienced menopause may be unsupportive simply because they don’t understand the symptoms or impact.

• ❌ Ignorance isn’t just a male issue—people of all genders often only see things through their own lens, making it harder for menopausal women to be taken seriously.

• 💡 Menopause education is essential for EVERYONE! If we don’t talk about it, the cycle of misunderstanding will continue.

👊 It’s Time for Change!

• 💬 Women feel unheard, unsupported & vulnerable—but it shouldn’t be this way!

• 🏆 Workplaces need education, awareness & support systems to ensure no woman is pushed out of her career.

• 💡 Helping women through menopause makes a massive difference—it’s time to talk & take action!
