WE ARE THE STEADY CURRENT
Women over 40 represent one-quarter of our workforce and drive our economy – we refuse to be dimmed or disconnected. We’re 5 million strong (with 2 million between 45-55 navigating menopause in Canada alone). We’re not just employees – we’re the backbone of critical sectors, holding institutional knowledge and mentoring tomorrow’s leaders.
WE WILL NOT BE INTERRUPTED
For too long, unmanaged menopause symptoms have sparked an economic outage – costing the Canadian economy $3.5 billion annually; $237 million in productivity, and $3.3 billion in income. And the stigma silences us: 67% won’t talk to supervisors, 70% avoid HR conversations, and almost half feel too embarrassed to ask for support that could make all the difference.
OUR CURRENT IS RISING
The tide is turning. Employers are catching on to what we’ve known: supporting women through menopause powers the bottom line. When workplaces normalize conversations and offer practical supports, the current strengthens: retention improves, experience stays in circuit, and women maintain career momentum despite physical changes.
WE ARE POWER
We’re building a movement for uninterrupted careers—advocating for accommodations, flexible policies, medical support and open dialogue. Together, we’re reshaping workplaces where menopause is natural, not a career-ender. Our power grows as we share stories, push for better policies and double down on our careers.
And if you’re not already feeling powered up today, here’s some inspiration curated for you:
