Menopause Deserves More Than a “Moment”: Legal and Medical Perspectives

In recent years, reproductive justice advocates have called—with some success—for “menstrual equity.” They have targeted stigma and shame around menstruation and advocated changes in law, policy, and health care to end “period poverty” and help people manage their periods with dignity. Menopause—the end of menstruation—is also a matter of reproductive justice. This panel brings together legal scholars, medical providers, and health care advocates to address stigma, stereotypes, and health care challenges around perimenopause and menopause, and the need for greater attention, in law and medicine, to menopause as an issue of sexual health and reproductive justice. Lunch will be available at 12:30 and the event will begin at 12:45. BUPRJ will be offering the first 10 students to register and attend the event in-person a free copy of Hot Flash. Register today!
