Take Control

Menopause Awareness

It’s a journey that every woman embarks on, yet it’s still surrounded by stigma and misunderstanding.  Our campaign aims to change that.

We’re here to provide information, support, and a platform for sharing experiences.

Menopause isn’t just a biological phase; it’s a societal shift that impacts women’s lives in various ways.

From hot flashes and mood swings to the broader conversations about women’s health, our goal is to shed light on this natural process and empower women with the knowledge they need to navigate it confidently.  We’ve produced a leaflet that you can print and use in your workplace.

Take a look at the Unite website for some useful resources around menopause.

Unite WULF works closely with The Menopause Team in delivering workshops across Wales.

The British Menopause Society offer brilliant help and support.

 

 

 

 

Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment

The Worker Protection Act has failed women workers who are being assaulted at work and feel unable to report incidents.
Results of comprehensive Unite survey – polling over 6,000 female members - across all 19 sectors Unite represents on whether they had experienced sexual harassment while at work, travelling to work or from a colleague including in or out of work hours show harassment is endemic in workplaces.

Top level findings

  • 25 per cent have been assaulted
  • Over 8 per cent been the victim of sexual coercion
  • 56 per cent been the recipient of sexually offensive jokes
  • 55 per cent had experienced unwanted flirting, gesturing or sexual remarks,
  • 43 per cent had been inappropriately touched
  • 28 per cent had been shared or shown pornographic images

Unite's survey found just 26 per cent of respondents felt their employer had done enough to promote a sexual harassment zero-tolerance culture within the workplace, while 34 per cent did not believe there was a zero-tolerance approach to this behaviour at their place of work.
