Add gynaecological conditions e.g. Endometriosis to Equality Act 2010 Guidance

Background

We call on the UK government to include gynaecological conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, PCOS, PMDD, menopause & menstrual disorders as “impairments with fluctuating or recurring effects” in the Equality Act 2010 Guidance on the definition of disability (published in May 2011)

Additional details

We think gynaecological conditions must be listed as impairments in the Equality Act 2010 Guidance on Disability. We believe this will ensure employees disabled by debilitating chronic conditions such as Endometriosis are supported with reasonable adjustments and protected against disability discrimination in the workplace by law.
