The New Role of Midwives: Menopausal Care

Menopause affects 100% of women. Yet we still talk about it so little. The Kulczyk Foundation is changing the image of menopause in Polish society through various initiatives – both locally and nationwide. During this meeting, we reminded everyone that every Polish woman has her own midwife within primary care and can discuss menopause with her.
Panelists: Anna Samsel, Dr. Katarzyna Skórzewska, Dr. Ewa Tabor
Moderation: Monika Richardson

"Periodic Taboo" Exhibition

Additionally, we presented the exhibition "Period Taboo," featuring photographs by the duo Magda Wunsche and Aga Samsel. This exhibition debunked myths surrounding menstruation and encouraged open conversation about what is still a taboo topic.
