This #WorldMenopauseDay, I’m celebrating a campaign I’m immensely proud of creating: Pausitivity #KnowYourMenopause 💜 We took menopause out of the shadows and put it on walls across the UK and the world. Changing the conversation starts with making the invisible visible. 🧵👇

Campaigners warned about this when menopause became trendy. Menopause is not a lifestyle. It’s a lifestage that can have a huge impact. Some of us need proper hormonal support, not bloody toothpaste. Take us seriously, not as a marketing opportunity.

political attention. We shouldn’t lose that momentum now.
Women deserve a healthcare system that listens to them, takes our symptoms seriously and deliver on the promises already made.

Women make up more than half of Scotland’s population.
So why do we face such unacceptable barriers to healthcare?
It takes over 10 years on average to get an endometriosis diagnosis, despite a commitment to get that down to under 12 months. Made in 2021.

I spent years shouting about women’s health because I knew being heard was only the first step.
It's political leadership that turns women’s voices into action.
That's why we need a dedicated Minister for Women’s Health.

We have ministers responsible for individual areas of government.
So why shouldn't women’s health have dedicated political leadership?
Women make up more than half of Scotland’s population.
Our health matters.

More than 10 years for an endometriosis diagnosis. Long waits for gynae treatment. Misdiagnosed heart attacks and strokes…
Scotland needs dedicated political leadership on women’s health.

Where is Scotland’s Minister for Women’s Health?
The role was removed.
We think it should be reinstated.
Because women’s health shouldn't disappear from the political agenda.

From menstruation to #perimenopause #menopause, we separate periods, fertility, pregnancy and menopause into neat clinical boxes. The person experiencing them has only ever had one life.

I started campaigning on women’s health because I know what happens when it isn’t treated as a priority.
That’s why I’m now calling for Scotland to reinstate a dedicated Minister for Women’s Health.

Women's health cannot be an afterthought, squeezed between a minister's other priorities.
Scotland needs dedicated leadership on women’s health.
Bring back the Minister for Women’s Health.

Saw the trailer last night - can't wait!
3 years ago, we closed the door to our beloved Button House for the last time. Or so we thought..Because it turns out, some Spirits refuse to fade.
We're off on another Ghostly adventure and this time, it's a matter of life or well, death 🎬🍿👻

Women shouldn't have to wait 10 years for an endometriosis diagnosis. Shouldn't struggle for menopause care. Shouldn't face postcode lotteries.
Scotland no longer has a dedicated Minister for Women's Health. We still need one.

Have menopause campaigns hurt women’s careers? Where to begin… 🧵
After so many years of trying to change the discussion, the idea that talking about menopause creates a stereotype of women as unreliable, fragile or less capable is infuriating.

How to put women’s health back into the Dark Ages. Women in menopause have loads to offer employers but some - SOME - may need extra support. That some male employers have a problem with that is what we need to change. They’re the ones putting women back

Today in Scotland a woman is so unsafe in her own home she fears being killed by the man who told her that he loves her. She might not make it to tomorrow. Today dozens of women will be raped and carry the trauma for the rest of their lives. Today hundreds of children will cower
