There's been a long running campaign for working women going through the menopause to get better protection. This morning the government has announced it won't make the menopause a protected characteristic, in the same way things like age and sex are - despite a recommendation from MPs that it should be. The government is commissioning more research into the subject, and cheaper and better access to HRT. But is this enough? Reporter Melanie Abbott joined Nuala McGovern on Â鶹Éç Radio 4's Woman's Hour to give us the full details of the government's response to calls for more protection, and campaigner Helen Garlick from Henpicked told us why she is calling for more action.
