We Won’t Shut Up! Podiumsdiskussion Endometriose im Fokus

In the organizer's words:

Invisible but real: endometriosis in focus
Endometriosis affects millions of people with uteruses - and yet the chronic disease often remains undetected and underestimated. It takes an average of eight years before a correct diagnosis is made, while those affected struggle with severe pain, social taboos and a lack of medical recognition. Why is this the case? And what needs to change?
We invite you to our panel discussion, where we bring together personal experiences, scientific insights and social perspectives on endometriosis. Our guests will talk about their own journey with the condition, how they deal with symptoms and how we can provide better support as a society and in the healthcare system.

Our panel guests:
Vanessa - social worker and runs an online discussion group for endometriosis sufferers.
Sophie - Sociologist and health consultant at the Feminist Women's Health Center Berlin.
Jasmin - photographer and videographer from Munich. In her current project "Endometriosis - the chameleon in my belly", she makes the invisible challenges of endometriosis sufferers visible. Some of her images will be presented during the discussion.

Moderation: Shaghayegh - artist and activist at Bellevue di Monaco. In her work, she campaigns for equal rights and post-migrant perspectives.
The Endogruppe München will also be offering an information stand with extensive educational material. It supports those affected in Munich through an active WhatsApp community and regular meetings online and on site.

The panel discussion is open to anyone interested in the topic, we look forward to seeing you there!
