A statement from Liz Campbell, Chair of Endometriosis UK, on our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion:
Endometriosis UK is committed to supporting and advocating for everyone affected by endometriosis regardless of race, gender, sex, gender identity, class, sexual orientation or disability and ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion is at the heart of every aspect of our organisation.
Everyone affected by endometriosis needs to be acknowledged, and we know that we must do more to identify the needs of all those affected by endometriosis, develop, maintain and evaluate our work to meet those needs and advocate for necessary change and ensure all voices are heard.
We are taking steps to actively ensure we drive change for those from under-represented groups and the Board have established a Diversity & Inclusion Group to ensure we take this work forward. Our first priority is ensuring that we understand the needs of all people affected by endometriosis including those from under-represented groups, which will inform our priorities.
We look forward to driving this work forward and working with you to ensure that everyone affected by endometriosis has access to the support they need.
