Workplace Insights: Diversity in Menopause  

Focus on Disability – White Paper 1 (July 2024) 

We’re delighted to launch our first of a three-part series of white papers around the topic of Diversity in Menopause: ‘Workplace Insights: Diversity in Menopause – Focus on Disability, White Paper 1 (July 2024)’. 

The second and third papers will explore Menopause in relation to the LGBTQ+ community and Race. We also acknowledge the intersectionality of menopause with other different protected characteristics which are beyond the scope of our current three papers.  

This paper has been prepared by The Diversity Trust; Menopause Spring; Menospace and kindly reviewed by South Gloucestershire Disability Equality Network. It forms part of The Diversity Trust’s ‘Think and Do’ Tank, to produce and share research, informed by lived experience, a call for collaboration and an encouragement of positive action for change.
