Advocacy & Partnerships
At the Middle East Menopause Organization (MEMO), we know that meaningful change requires more than awareness, it requires advocacy. Across the UAE, GCC, and wider MENA region, menopause is often overlooked in healthcare policies, workplace practices, and public discussions. We are here to change that.
By working with healthcare providers, businesses, policymakers, and community leaders, MEMO is shaping a future where menopause is recognized, respected, and supported as an essential part of women’s health and wellbeing.
Empowering women through every stage.
Why Advocacy Matters
Menopause impacts every woman, yet too often it is hidden in silence. Without advocacy, women face barriers in accessing proper healthcare, recognition in the workplace, and social understanding. At MEMO, we believe every woman deserves:
- Access to specialised menopause healthcare in the UAE and Middle East
- Workplace support systems to manage symptoms like hot flushes, fatigue, and emotional changes
- Representation in policy decisions that affect women’s health across the GCC and MENA
- Education that empowers both women and their communities
Our Advocacy Priorities
We collaborate with doctors, clinics, and researchers to ensure women in the UAE and MENA region have access to evidence-based care for perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause.
Training for healthcare providers
Promoting early detection and prevention of related health risks
Increasing access to menopause-friendly clinics
Menopause is not just a health issue, it’s a workplace issue. Many women across the GCC leave or struggle in their careers due to unmanaged symptoms. MEMO advocates for:
Menopause awareness in HR and leadership training
Flexible policies to support women through hot flushes, fatigue, and sleep disruption
Corporate wellness programs designed for midlife health
We work with policymakers and organizations to integrate menopause into women’s health strategies across the Middle East.
