Commons cross-party women and equalities committee is launching a campaign to help working professionals who are undergoing menopause. In an eleven-month-old study, it was found that female doctors were retiring early due to sexism faced because of menopause. According to The Guardian, the British Medical Association (BMA) had found a strong pattern of highly experienced women leaving GP partnerships, ending their positions as clinical leaders and directors and leaving medicine early, because they were struggling to cope with menopause symptoms with no support from management or peers. This number was close to a million. MPs are now seeking written submissions by 17 September on several issues surrounding menopause in the light of this inquiry.
