A Westminster Hall debate on endometriosis workplace support has been scheduled for Tuesday 29 October 2019 in the House of Commons. Please get involved by emailing your MP and asking them to attend the debate, asking your MP to attend the debate by tagging them on social media, and by sharing your story on social media using the #endometriosisatwork.
"Having found my inner voice to be able to be open about my condition at work, coupled with the flexibility and support of my managers and peers has been the absolute antidote in allowing me to manage my endometriosis whilst maintaining a successful career as well."

If you have endometriosis, could you spare ten minutes to take part in a BBC survey to share your experience?
We are proud to be working with the BBC to shine a much-needed light on the impact of living with endometriosis. The survey is completely anonymous, and you will not be asked for any personal details.
Our Helpline is operated by trained volunteers who have a personal experience of endometriosis. They are not able to give medical advice but can talk through your issues and consider options to overcome them, or just provide a friendly listening ear. It can be overwhelming being diagnosed with endometriosis, and our helpline is here for you.
At 15, Jade was told the severe pain she was experiencing was completely normal. She suffered excruciating pain, fatigue, and bowel and bladder related problems - all whilst trying to get through school and pass her exams. Years later, she was diagnosed with endometriosis. In Wales, the Assembly are currently reviewing the school curriculum and we want to see all children taught the key facts about the menstrual cycle.
