Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
• Endometriosis and Adenomyosis are chronic, painful, and often disabling diseases that can severely impact a person’s ability to work, study, and perform daily activities;
• Despite the debilitating nature of these diseases, they are not currently recognized as disabilities under Canadian law, leaving many patients without adequate support or accommodations;
• Canadians affected by these diseases often face high medical costs, long diagnostic delays, infertility, and barriers to accessing fertility treatments, which are not publicly funded; and
• Greater awareness, funding, and official disability recognition would significantly improve the quality of life and equality of care for those living with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis.
We, the undersigned, Residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:
1. Officially recognize endometriosis and adenomyosis as conditions that can qualify as disabilities under federal and provincial disability programs when they substantially limit daily activities or the ability to work.
2. Increase and ring-fence dedicated federal funding for endometriosis and adenomyosis research through CIHR and related agencies, prioritizing diagnostics, non-hormonal treatments, and long-term outcomes
3. Create and fund standardized, evidence-based clinical care pathways and timely referral access across provinces (including diagnostic imaging access, multidisciplinary pelvic pain clinics, and timely surgical.
