Virginia lawmakers unanimously passed a bill to educate the public about common menstrual disorders like endometriosis and PCOS
Menstruation-related disorders or conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome are often painful conditions that result in irregular periods, infertility issues, depression, and more.
Around six to 13% of women around the world have PCOS, and more than half of those with the condition remain undiagnosed. Approximately 10% of women globally have endometriosis.
This new bill, which passed unanimously by lawmakers, will educate the public about these menstrual disorders by establishing a women’s menstrual health program that will direct the state’s health department to educate and train hospital staff and providers on the disorders.
Why is this good news? A lack of education, research, and understanding about menstrual disorders leads to late diagnoses — or none at all — that could save a person “years of pain and agony” if they had known earlier. This dedicated initiative will close those knowledge gaps — for those impacted and for healthcare providers.
Take action to celebrate International Women’s Day!
March 8 is International Women’s Day, an annual celebration across the world that honors the achievements and contributions of women, while challenging the discrimination and oppression they continue to face.
Although gender is a socially constructed concept that changes and evolves personally throughout each of our lives, International Women’s Day is an inclusive and diverse celebration that invites us to partake in nuanced conversations about women, gender, inequality, and injustice.
Celebrated during the second week of Women’s History Month in the United States, International Women’s Day reminds us to be even more mindful and welcoming of women from all continents, countries, and communities.
