A VOICE TOO LOUD
TO IGNORE
We believe the menopause is not solely a gender, workplace or diversity and inclusion issue. Instead, it is a sum of all parts that affects all of society, either directly or indirectly.
It’s why, by purposefully uniting brands, organisations and employers under GenM, we can all unite and pledge to better support and connect with those impacted - and ultimately, improve the menopause experience for all.
THE 48 SYMPTOMS*
OF THE MENOPAUSE
Most people know that hot flushes are associated with the menopause, but far less is known about the other symptoms. Our pioneering Invisibility Report uncovered 48 menopausal symptoms, but 51% of women can name only three.
We believe raising awareness and normalising the conversation is key to improving the menopause experience. Because the more informed we are, the more impactful the changes we can make as brands and organisations.

THE MENOPAUSE AFFECTS EVERYONE
No one person’s menopause is the same - and not everyone experiences a ‘bad’ menopause. But even if anyone says, “it’s not that bad”, it would suggest it could be better.
It’s why GenM supports those in menopause and their support networks to take control and manage their symptoms, their way. So those affected can be the best version of themselves
Commitment
By aligning with the GenM Pledge, Founding Partners commit to a series of actions, including better representing the menopause in products, services, campaigns, workplace policies and conversations across society. It’s the important first steps towards improving the menopause experience, raising awareness of the 48 symptoms, and normalising the conversation. GenM have the power to play an active and important role in achieving these goals.
Will you pledge to serve the menopause better?
People affected by the menopause deserve support. And where there’s demand, there’s opportunity to incite purposeful change across society generally, but importantly for your consumers, customers and work colleagues.
Better still, by transforming attitudes and developing a more menopause-friendly environment that supports and understands menopausal women, you will better appeal to this underserved market and retain some of the most talented and experienced work colleagues to help your organisation thrive.
