As a non-profit organization and members of the endometriosis (“endo”) community, The Endometriosis Network Canada 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 address these important issues, we launched 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.
