Menopause mentors

The menopause is something half the world’s population goes through. But despite this, it’s still not much talked about - and in some places, remains taboo.Which means many women hit this stage of life not understanding what’s happening to them.We join a menopause cafe where people share experiences face-to-face, try out an app giving Indian women practical advice, and hear about workshops in Argentina where women learn how to replace expensive menopause products with cheaper items like coconut oil.Presenter: Myra Anubi Reporters: Ann Hepburn and Claire Bates Series producer: Tom Colls Sound mix: Gareth Jones Editor: Penny MurphyEmail: peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.ukImage: Rachel Weiss at a menopause cafe
