In our Under the theme “Speaking Up for Women: Ending the Silence Around Menopause, Mrs. Ladi Maman is adding her voice to a conversation that has for too long remained hidden.

Drawing from personal experience and deep concern for women’s wellbeing, Mrs. Maman is advocating for greater awareness, empathy, and support for women going through menopause. She believes menopause should no longer be treated as a private burden for women to endure in silence, but as a natural life stage that deserves understanding from families, communities, employers, and health systems.

Through her advocacy, Mrs. Maman is challenging stigma, misinformation, and cultural taboos surrounding menopause, while calling for open dialogue and accessible health support. Her message is clear: when women are supported during menopause, they are healthier, more confident, and better able to continue contributing meaningfully to society.

By speaking up, Mrs. Ladi Maman is helping to break the silence — and paving the way for a more informed, compassionate approach to women’s health.
