In a progressive and much-needed initiative, The Third Eye hosted a menstrual and menopause awareness seminar at the Calcutta Foundation Centre in New Alipore. The event brought together young minds, educators, and health professionals in a safe, respectful environment to discuss the often-overlooked topic of menopause.

The session was conducted by Dr. Basab Mukherjee, a renowned gynecologist and passionate advocate for women's health, alongside Aadya Shakti Aggarwal, the founder of The Third Eye. Together, they created a space for education, dialogue, and destigmatization of topics that are still largely unspoken in mainstream and family discussions.

Dr. Basab led the conversation with warmth and clarity, offering in-depth insights into what menopause is, how it affects women physically and emotionally, and why it is vital for all family members—especially younger generations—to understand it. His engaging approach helped simplify complex biological changes, making the session accessible and relatable for the audience.

Aadya introduced the mission of The Third Eye and emphasized the importance of initiating such conversations in both schools and households. She highlighted the generational silence around menopause and the need to replace discomfort with empathy and informed dialogue.

One of the most powerful moments of the event was the Q&A session, where young girls asked candid questions—some out of curiosity, others from a place of confusion or concern. Dr. Basab addressed each question with thoughtful, respectful, and science-backed responses. This two-way exchange helped demystify menopause and opened the doors to understanding it not as an "end" but as a natural transition in a woman’s life.

The event was not just informative—it was transformative. Attendees left with not just knowledge, but a new sense of empathy and awareness. The goal was clear: to create informed and supportive environments where women experiencing menopause feel understood, validated, and never alone.

The Third Eye continues its mission to bring such taboo topics into everyday conversation. This seminar at the Calcutta Foundation Centre marked another meaningful step in building a culture of awareness, compassion, and open dialogue across generations.

Because understanding begins with listening. And change begins with conversation.
