World Menopause Day is observed annually on October 18, marked jointly by the International Menopause Society (IMS) and the World Health Organization, aiming to highlight menopause as a natural stage in women's lives that deserves greater health and social attention. The day raises awareness of the physical and psychological symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes, and their long-term effects on bone and heart health. It encourages women to speak openly about this stage of life and seek appropriate medical guidance rather than navigating it in silence, while also calling on workplaces to adopt policies that better support women going through menopause. Medical associations and health organizations worldwide run annual awareness campaigns that include educational materials and medical seminars aimed at both women and healthcare providers, alongside initiatives that encourage open conversation around a topic often surrounded by social silence.
