Cysters: Marginalised and Menopausal – Reclaiming Menopause in Racialized Bodies

Marginalised and Menopausal – Reclaiming Menopause in Racialized Bodies

We are delighted to be attending Marginalised & Menopausal, an intersectional initiative centering the experiences of South Asian individuals navigating menopause, all with a healthy dash of Samosay, a little bhangra and the all important gift bags!

Join community voices, experts, legal insights, and lived experience to explore:

Agenda highlights:

Breaking cultural taboos around menopause in South Asian communities
How food, exercise + vitamin D can support or strain your body—over 80% of South Asians in the UK are vitamin D deficient, increasing bone health risks
Perimenopause & chemical menopause – understand the stages, timing (average menopause age ~48 for South Asians vs 51 UK average)
The impact of menopause on dating, relationships & self-identity
Cutting-edge research on communication gaps in menopause care
Tech innovations – from symptom trackers to telehealth for equitable care

Why focus on South Asian bodies? Research shows South Asian women often enter menopause earlier, face stigma in communities, have lower vitamin D & bone density, and are underrepresented in mainstream studies

We hope you can make it – do come along to the FTWW stand and say hello!
