Sophie, Countess of Wessex, is using her platform to speak out about women going through menopause in the workplace, which she says can sometimes have tragic effects on employment.
The royal family member, who is married to Prince Edward , joined a roundtable discussion in support of the Wellbeing of Women charitys Menopause Workplace Pledge, People magazine reported Monday.
The pledge says that 900,000 women in the U.K. have quit their jobs due to menopause.
Women having to leave the workplace because of the menopause is tragic, Sophie said, according to the outlet. We are fabulous in our 40s, and we are even more fabulous in our 50s, 60s and 70s and we need to celebrate that and keep opportunities going for women.
Together, we can support the thousands of women out there who form the backbone of our workforce, she added. We cannot let anyone leave the workplace, feeling that they have got to slope off into the shadows. We have to be able to change that.
