Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life, yet nearly half of Polish women still consider it a taboo subject. A taboo is something left unspoken, something that evokes fear and shame. When we do not talk about menopause, there is a lack of knowledge not only within society but also among professionals. This knowledge gap is often filled with stereotypes that create a harmful image of women undergoing menopausal transition.

Anna Samsel, Dr Alicja Długołęcka and Dr Katarzyna Skórzewska will discuss the consequences this has for women and for society as a whole, as well as what can be done to change it. The conversation will be moderated by Odeta Moro.
