Published: Fri 1 Mar 2024 10:44 AM
Today marks day one of International Endometriosis Awareness Month, observed annually in March. This is an important time for raising awareness about endometriosis and its impact on individuals worldwide as a condition that is estimated to affect more than 1 in 10 women, girls and those assigned female at birth.
'Our theme for the month is &x52;Living Well Together&x52; highlighting the significance of a collective commitment between patients, healthcare professionals, families, workplaces and wider community to come together at this time and ensure that those impacted by endometriosis receive the understanding and support they need to live their lives to the fullest.' – Tanya Cooke.
We have chosen this theme as it speaks to individuals living with endometriosis, letting them know they don't need to face the condition alone. It is also a call for everyone to show up for those struggling with endometriosis, all year round, not just in March.
