PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Endometriosis awareness campaign (18 June 2023)

Motion Details

That this House notes the struggles that more than one million women in the UK suffering from endometriosis face; recognises that no one should suffer from endometriosis or any health condition in silence; acknowledges that endometriosis can severely affect a woman’s life and that there is very little public understanding of it; notes that proper diagnosis is essential for a women’s well-being, and can improve mental health while empowering them to make informed decisions about planning for a family; supports the need to boost awareness and diagnosis education for better health outcomes; reaffirms that some women with endometriosis are entitled to certain rights and adjustments in the workplace under the Equality Act 2010; and calls on the Government to launch a wider awareness campaign on endometriosis to encourage women to get diagnosed and improve public understanding of the condition.
