Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women worldwide and yet it isn’t spoken about. Thats an estimated 176 million experiences unsaid.
Endometriosis is a difficult condition to discuss. Its very nature as a menstrual health condition means that it is surrounded by stigma and taboo. Often called an ‘invisible illness’ because the suffering it causes goes unseen and people often struggle to understand that you can look well and still be very sick.
You can smile and be in pain at the same time.
We need more awareness and education on Endometriosis and other menstrual health conditions.
We need more compassion and empathy. We need to talk.
1 in 10 women suffer from Endometriosis, although the spectrum of experiences is vast and it affects each woman differently.
But rather than become something that isolates its sufferers, if spoken about and experiences shared, as women we can support each other and our common struggle unites us.
This documentary aims to share women’s experiences with Endometriosis and related menstrual health conditions. These women have bravely agreed to share their story with me and others in the hope that we can generate more understanding and begin discussion about these subjects that are so hard to talk about. And I cannot thank them enough for it!
