Rejected petition: Include Endometriosis and Adenomyosis in the school curriculum
Rejected on
Include endometriosis and adenomyosis in the school curriculum so young girls and boys are aware of conditions that can affect them and those around them. With 1 in 10 suffering from these conditions it is vital that it be made a mandatory part of the education system.
If made part of the curriculum, less girls would believe their period pain is normal. They would be able to understand and get help quicker and hopefully would be less of a target for medical gaslighting to occur.
