Background
We want these conditions to be recognised as physical disabilities and not menstrual issue.Endometriosis tissue has been found in both men and women, on multiple organs throughout the body. Endometriosis has a vast range of symptoms and is currently incurable.These symptoms cause chronic pain and secondary disabilities not just to the womb.Therefore we are requesting that Endometriosis is recognised as a long term disability as it meets the criteria provided by the Equality act 2010.
