“I’m menopausal, okay?” Halle Berry’s heartfelt cry in front of the US Capitol

Halle Berry doesn’t hesitate to speak up for those important causes. The actress joined a group of several US senators in front of the Capitol on May 2 to campaign for better menopause care in the US. Together, they support a more specific bill that would allocate more than $250 million to research, strengthening care, but also raising awareness in this area, fighting stigma. “I’m going through menopause, okay?” the actress shouted. Embarrassment should be removed from menopause. We need to talk about this completely normal part of our lives. Our doctors can’t even pronounce the word, let alone accompany us on our journey.

“This is serious!”

On Instagram, Halle Berry also shared this mobilization, calling on her followers to mobilize, specifically calling on their senators to ask them to support this bill. “This is serious! Menopause affects all women, and it’s time to talk about it,” the 57-year-old actress wrote in the caption of the photos dedicated to this day. “I am furious with those who claim that this is not a serious issue that deserves our attention,” he added. Millions of women have suffered in silence for decades, but by knowing how to manage menopause, women are in control of their current and future well-being. (…) It is time!”

In this fight, Halle Berry was named the magazine The time among the 100 most influential people in the healthcare sector in its ranking published on May 6. A nomination the actress said she was “proud and honored” to receive. On Instagram, he added that he “doesn’t take this job lightly.” “I do this for all the women who feel misinformed or made to feel inferior because of the stage of life they are in,” she added. By speaking about my experiences, I hope other women will feel inspired to tell their stories and fight the stigmas that have plagued us for far too long.”
