Last night we were thrilled to spend time with an amazing group of people and attend the film screening of Rainbow Menopause, a film that sheds light on the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals navigating menopause.
Rainbow Menopause’ looks at menopause for LGBTQ+ people, identifying need for more inclusive conversations and support. Featuring interviews with clinicians and people who have lived experiences, brought together by the ‘Menopause Inclusion Collective’, they hope sharing these stories will help more people to understand that menopause needs to be inclusive of everyone.
Sara Williams the co-creator of the film, who is driven to spotlight minority menopause experiences and advocate for the inclusion of marginalised voices, said:
This is not just a mini-documentary; the film could be a catalyst for change.
We think Rainbow Menopause could be used to help foster inclusivity and understanding:
- Staff Training: Educate employees about the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals
- Health & Wellness: Incorporate into wellness programs for comprehensive menopause education
- Policy Development: Gain insights to shape inclusive policies for LGBTQ+ employees
- HR Resource: Understand and support employees’ needs
- D&I Initiatives: Promote inclusivity and representation
- Awareness Campaigns: Fight stigma, encourage open discussions
- ERGs & Support: Empower resource groups focused on LGBTQ+ issues and menopause
- Leadership Development: Encourage inclusivity from the executive level
We were delighted to be present for what we hope will be a turning point for the inclusive menopause conversation in the UK, and maybe the world.
Congratulations to all involved. For more information please visit menopausecollective.org
