In their lifetime, approximately 1 in 10 girls and women, and unmeasured numbers of transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse individuals, will develop endometriosis.

Awareness, Education, Support, Hope

Our patient-centred approach

The Endometriosis Network Canada (TENC) is committed to building a strong, informed, inclusive, and compassionate community by providing support and educational resources for those affected by endometriosis across Canada* and raising awareness about the disease at a global level. The patient community is at the core of what we do.

Truth and reconciliation

Listening, learning, taking action

We encourage all Canadians to take the time to reflect, learn and take action to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. It is imperative we all raise informed awareness and take dedicated action to educate ourselves about the ongoing impact of the residential school system, what the calls to action surrounding truth and reconciliation are, and how we can help propel change.

EndoAct Canada

Driving policy change on endometriosis in Canada

The Endometriosis Network Canada is a co-founding organization of EndoAct Canada whose mission is to improve the lives of people with endometriosis in Canada by driving policy action that is based on science and grounded in the needs of the endometriosis community.

Statement of Commitment

As a non-profit organization and members of the endometriosis (“endo”) community, The Endometriosis Network Canada (TENC) is committed to growing to meet the needs of all who are impacted by endometriosis in Canada*. We acknowledge that the issues and challenges faced by communities that have been disinvested, as well as historically and intentionally excluded, demand immediate action. These communities include but are not limited to:

• Black, Indigenous, Asian, Filipino, Arab, Hispanic, Latine, Latinx, multi-racial, and other non-white populations

• 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities

• Rural communities

• Isolated communities

• Newcomer communities

To begin our efforts to address these important issues, TENC is launching the Endo Ambassador Program, an outreach initiative designed to connect the organization with individuals with endometriosis from disinvested, as well as historically and intentionally excluded, communities across Canada*, in March 2022. Volunteer ambassadors will serve as representatives of their communities and help inform the development of further endometriosis support and educational resources based on their unique needs.

A committee has been assembled to facilitate the ongoing development of the Endo Ambassador Program. The nation-wide volunteer ambassador recruitment campaign is set to begin this year. For more information, contact info@endometriosisnetwork.ca.

Through collaboration, information, truth and reconciliation, the future we build together will be more informed, inclusive and hopeful than ever before.
