October 18

Established in 2004 by the International Menopause Society and supported by the World Health Organization, World Menopause Day promotes global education on menopause and healthy aging. Events include scientific conferences, public lectures, and social media campaigns to break taboos and share research on menopausal symptoms and treatments. Healthcare organizations offer free screenings and educational materials on hormone therapy and lifestyle changes. Community support groups and women's health advocates use the day to advocate for improved healthcare policies. The observance emphasizes the importance of open dialogue and expert guidance for women navigating midlife wellness.
