At this collaborative, online event ‘ From Menarche to Menopause’ we heard from several expert speakers from the academic and not-for-profit community about their work and research related to menarche, menstruation, menopause and mental health worldwide. This event was chaired by SWIDN Trustee Dr Tigist Grieve (FSSL – ID, Bristol) and we heard from the following contributors from across the South West:
Amy Peake – Loving Humanity

We are grateful to all our contributors for sharing their time and expertise so generously with the SWIDN community for our learning.
We listed the resources shared in the call and sent these to all who registered for this event. If you would like a copy, please email Emma at info@swidn.org.uk for a free copy.
This event was delivered in partnership with the University of Bristol Faculty of Social Sciences – International Development and the Bristol Poverty Institute, together with SWIDN.
