Hi Everyone,
We are delighted to be over 8000 signatures but we still have a long way to go.
As most of you know, some of us held a presentation in Leinster House last December and the outcome was that the Womens Task Force would be in place for us to send our concerns.
Phase 2 is beginning and they are looking for feedback on what we want in place. Personally, I feel like we have already stated this firstly in Leinster House, secondly when we emailed the task force in the first place, and now again they are asking for feedback.
As much as it frustrates me that it's taking so long for progress to be made, I am glad they are asking for our opinions because big data can't lie. If enough of us send our concerns, they will undoubtedly see patterns of what we have been subjected to for so long.

To give you some ideas on my perspective 1) Widespread Public Endometriosis Awareness Campaign 2) Mandatory Endometriosis Education/Training for ALL Medical Professionals 3) Menstrual Well-Being Education in All Schools 4) Center of Excellence with a Multi-Disciplinary Team 5) Cannabis Recognized as Best Treatment for Chronic Pain Management with Least Side Effects as per Research Studies in Australia, Canada and Israel 6) A Public Apology From Government for all the lives lost and affected by delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, miscarriages, lost jobs, accusation of drug seeking, no mental support. These are a all a direct consequence of having a chronic, incurable illness that we deserve to be supported through, at the very least.
Thanks so much for all your support to date. 1 in 10 of us are battling as prisoners of our own body every single day, we need to stick together in solidarity to ensure the next generations won't face the same trauma.
Another endo warrior has created a petition which we would also love your support in. We need to cover all basis and the more campaigns we have running, the better chance we have at not being ignored anymore! Please sign here too.
