Shining a light on Endometriosis
What is a Human Living Library? Human Living Library gives you the chance to talk to Human Books" (real people), ask questions and find out about other peoples lives in ways you never thought possible.
This event is shining a light on Endometriosis. More than 830,000 (more than 10%) of Australian women suffer from endometriosis at some point in their life with the disease often starting in teenagers. There is a 7 to 12-year delay in diagnosis. The “books” have all experienced endometriosis in different ways and this human library gives you the chance to “borrow a human book” and join in respectful conversation about difference and diversity; where difficult questions are expected, encouraged and answered.
This event will be held on 28th March. March is world EndoMarch month, which campaigns to raise money for research and awareness of endometriosis.
