We’ve got a great #PeopleFixingTheWorld this week, where @MyraAnubi hears all about how women are helping each other with the #menopause & #perimenopause - a subject that’s still not talked about in many places…
Let's talk about #Menopause✋🏾
I had the most insightful time speaking to @RachelWeiss about something that will affect more than half the world's population but one that most don't understand.
But @Menopause_Cafe is getting people to talk openly about it: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0fkd0…

New from me for @bbcworldservice: How Germany's "fan projects" work within football foot fan scenes to reduce violence and far-right infiltration. Run by social workers, they're a really interesting alternative to a top-down, criminal justice approach bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fbtk1…

Endometriosis affects roughly one-in-ten women of reproductive age. Symptoms can be debilitating and there's currently no cure.
@rosie_bee1 has it, and has been on a mission to find new treatments.

"...it really took over my life & affected my mental health."
#Endometriosis affects every 1 in 10 women. It can be very painful & take years to diagnose BUT there are projects helping women with the condition.
