Creating a comfortable and friendly space for women from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds to talk about their reproductive health, menopause and perimenopause Creating a safe, welcoming space for women to talk openly about their reproductive health ما با جوامع همکاری می کنیم تا فرصت هایی را برای افرادی که در زندگی خود با مشکل روبرو هستند و می خواهند به طور کامل در جامعه ادغام شوند ، ایجاد کنیم. ما مشتاقانه از بین بردن موانع اجتماعی ، اقتصادی ، فرهنگی و زبانی اشتیاق داریم تا مردم بتوانند از یک زندگی دورتر و بهتر برخوردار شوند. Our partner For the first phase of our project we worked with The Menopause Charity to provide three workshops about the menopause for 30 women from three culturally specific groups - South Asian, African and Middle Eastern/Arab. Each workshop had volunteer interpreters to support the women to engage in myth-busting, facts and perimenopause.
