Everyone experiences perimenopause and menopause differently. About 1 in 2 women report experiencing mild to moderate symptoms, and 1 in 4 women experience symptoms severe enough to affect daily activities.
Many women feel unprepared and uninformed about perimenopause and menopause and find it difficult to access evidence-based information on symptoms, treatments and support options.
The National Menopause and Perimenopause Awareness Campaign encourages women who experience symptoms to recognise them earlier and seek information and support if they need it.
The campaign aims to increase understanding and reduce stigma by normalising conversations and demonstrating that everyone’s experience will be different.
The campaign was developed through consultation with experts and informed by women and people with lived experience of perimenopause and menopause.
