Debate

Endometriosis: Women in the Workplace

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for that point. The issue has been known about for a long time. The women’s health strategy, published in 2022, painted a picture of what workplaces should be like over the next 10 years, arguing that women should “feel able to speak openly about their health and to be confident that they will be supported by their employer and workplace colleagues, with an end to taboos” and that “women experiencing women’s health issues such as period problems, endometriosis, fertility treatment, miscarriage and menopause” must “feel well supported in their workplaces.” This is a far cry from the reality facing women in the workplace today.
