EndoFound endeavors to aid and empower endo women across the nation, with a multi-tiered approach from educating schoolteachers, to funding endometriosis research and facilitating expert surgical training. And EndoFound is not alone in the fighting for their health and well-being. Organizations across sectors including academia, non-profit and for-profit industries continue to pool resources—and EndoFound was thrilled to be part of this!
As the #metoo and Time’s Up movement ushers in an era of female empowerment, a new generation of women are finding the strength to step forward and stand in their truth by revealing their endo diagnosis and letting their fellow endo sisters—an estimated 178 million and counting—know that they are definitely not alone.
