"Many of these conversations are an infuriating reminder that women’s health has been pushed to the sidelines for too long, and that women have often been ignored, misunderstood and misinformed about their bodies. ... 64% of women don’t recognise their menopausal symptoms when they begin, and 10% of menopausal women leave or are pushed out of work due to their symptoms becoming too difficult to manage."

Online Workshop - #Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Why can't I fix my #WashingMachine?
15 Sept 2026, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
"How New Zealanders are getting a bad deal on repair – and what the UK shows is possible.
When a washing machine fails, dirty laundry piles up while owners wait weeks for an authorised repairer. Even simple faults can become expensive repairs once call-out fees and labour charges are added.
Yet many common repairs are straightforward. Replacing a door gasket, detergent hose or drain pump doesn't require specialist qualifications – just basic tools, practical skills, and access to the right information and parts.
We investigated ten popular washing machine brands in New Zealand, grading each manufacturer on whether owners can access repair manuals and purchase spare parts. We found a pattern of barriers that prevent owners from carrying out simple repairs themselves.
Then we repeated the investigation in the UK using the same manufacturers.
The results were dramatically different. Many brands that restrict repair support in New Zealand provide UK consumers with detailed manuals, online parts catalogues, stock availability and direct ordering.
The barriers to repair are not technical or logistical. Manufacturers already have the systems needed to support repair – they simply choose not to make them available to New Zealand consumers."

New Zealand"One small repair can save money, reduce waste, and keep a favourite item going for years longer.
Every second Sunday of the month, the #SouthCanterbury #EcoCentre turns into a busy little workshop powered by generous community volunteers. One volunteer might be fixing a lamp, another patching someone’s favourite jeans, while nearby a bike gets tuned up and someone learns a new sewing skill over a cup of tea.
Our volunteer repairers help give broken, damaged, and well-loved items a second chance. It’s also a chance to learn new skills, build community connections, and share conversations with others."
