People Fixing the World - Menopause mentors

Download Menopause mentors

The menopause is something half the world’s population goes through. But despite this, it’s still not much talked about - and in some places, remains taboo.

Which means many women hit this stage of life not understanding what’s happening to them.

We join a menopause cafe where people share experiences face-to-face, try out an app giving Indian women practical advice, and hear about workshops in Argentina where women learn how to replace expensive menopause products with cheaper items like coconut oil.

Presenter: Myra Anubi
Reporters: Ann Hepburn and Claire Bates
Series producer: Tom Colls
Sound mix: Gareth Jones
Editor: Penny Murphy
