To have endometriosis recognised as a physical disability
Endometriosis is a women’s problem what causes chronic pain, fatigue , depression etc. It states that the DDA covers the symptoms but people with the illness are not covered and also don’t have the same rights as people with a disabling illness. Why?
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) doesn't name specific any medical conditions that are defined as disabilities. In most cases, it’s the impact on the person’s life that qualifies them for support or protection under the law.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to support people who are suffering from endometriosis.
