Get Endometriosis recognised under the Equality act
One in Ten women suffer with Endometriosis often diagnosis can take 7-10 years to diagnose. Often alot of sufferers loose time from work due to the severity of symptoms and often find themselves on sickness triggers or loosing there jobs.
This condition needs more research and women need some kind of protection and support in the work place
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Laws and policies, including the Equality Act, don't list specific conditions and define them as disabilities. In most cases, it’s the impact that a health condition has on the person’s life that qualifies them for support or protection under the law.
You can find out more about showing that you're disabled under the Equality Act here:

You could start a new petition asking the Government to provide more funding for research into endometriosis, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
