    Abstract

    Annapurna Waughray, Professor of Human Rights Law, Manchester Metropolitan University, Colin Davidson, Head of Employment Law, Edwards Duthie Shamash, specialising in employment and discrimination law, and Declan O’Dempsey, barrister, Cloisters Chambers, review protection for menopause discrimination in the workplace under the Equality Act 2010. They conclude that this is inadequate and argue that a new protected characteristic of menopause should be created. The authors are members of the DLA executive committee which is currently co-chaired by Annapurna Waughray and Colin Davidson. This article draws on the DLA’s submission to the Women and Equalities Committee Menopause and the Workplace Inquiry (2021- 22) drafted by Declan O’Dempsey
