Endometriosis as Disability Movement

Karissa Renaud, a woman battling severe pelvic pain from endometriosis, is leading a powerful movement to get the condition officially recognized as a disability—after years of being dismissed by doctors and denied support. With no national action plan in Canada, millions of women suffer in silence, often forced to endure invasive surgeries just to get a diagnosis. The stakes are life-or-death, as tragically shown by a Kenyan radio host who died from complications. Doctors are calling for urgent change, pointing to countries like Australia and the U.K. that already have national strategies. Now, a petition with over 25,000 signatures, led by Green MP Elizabeth May, aims to classify endometriosis as a disability—unlocking vital benefits and resources. The fight is gaining momentum, and the time to act is now. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
