Understanding Endometriosis Workplace Support Workshop
Creating inclusive spaces starts with understanding. Endometriosis is often invisible, but its impact at school, uni, and work can be life-altering. At Endo Warriors Aotearoa, we offer workshops and support letters to help you take action in real, practical ways.
What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a complex, painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in places it shouldn’t—often causing chronic pain, fatigue, and digestive or bladder issues. It affects an estimated 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth in Aotearoa, but is widely misunderstood. Symptoms vary, and pain doesn’t always follow a cycle. For some, it’s manageable. For others, it can be disabling. Awareness is key.
