Rising for our bodies and our future means standing up for the health and dignity of women and girls.
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month-a time to recognize a serious condition that often goes undiagnosed for many years. Endometriosis causes intense, persistent pain that robs women and girls of comfort, confidence, and the ability to focus at school or fully participate in daily life. Some are forced to stay home, missing out on learning and opportunities, which affects their future.
As we reflect on the One Billion Rising call to end violence and stand for women’s dignity, it is vital to also recognize that listening to women’s bodies, validating their pain, and supporting menstrual health is part of rising for their rights and future.
Breaking the silence on conditions like endometriosis ensures that girls and women can learn, grow, and participate fully in life.
