The foundation is working to make the painful everyday lives of hundreds of thousands of women more bearable, to shorten the time between the first symptoms and the diagnosis, and to help the effort of doctors and researchers working to cure this serious disease.

Mission

Our mission is to raise attention to the symptoms of endometriosis, its early recognition, the dangers and causes of painful menstruation, and to provide genuine information on the disease and the options of its treatment. The diagnosis can take up to 9 years, which can lead to damage of the internal organs, then infertility. Our aim is to help you navigate through the maze of alternative therapies that ease the symptoms of endometriosis and complement traditional medicine, thereby making the everyday lives of thousands of women more livable.

PAINFUL MENSTRUATION IS NOT NORMAL!

Every second woman with painful menstruation is affected, yet they tolerate the torments in silence because it is believed to be part of being a woman. However, this should not be the case because painful menstruation is not normal but is one of the main symptoms of endometriosis. We are committed to make endometriosis, the disease that makes the everyday lives of thousands of women miserable, as widely known as possible, and to encourage discussions about it.

Women’s League – Collaboration for women’s health

On 8 March 2018, the Women’s League was established as a collaboration of five women’s health supporting non-governmental organizations, of which the Foundation for Women’s Health is also an active member. The aim of the collaboration is to be able to represent the interests of the affected women more effectively and to act more efficiently for women’s health education and health preservation. You can find out more about the members and activities of the Women’s League on the Endometriosis Hungary blog

Vision

Endometriosis affects 198 million women worldwide, more than 200,000 in Hungary and it is the leading cause of infertility.

Every second woman with painful menstruation has endometriosis, yet many of them have no idea they are affected.

Our goal is for women to recognize the symptoms in time and receive appropriate treatment, not to feel alone, for their environment to finally take their complaints seriously, to live again without pain, and for our daughters to be more health-conscious: not to believe that painful menstruation is normal because it is not!                 

In addition, our emphasized goal is to raise the awareness of healthy lifestyle, women’s health consciousness and femininity through 3 “areas”: information, training, education.

Menstruation is the part of every woman’s life, yet they experience it differently. For many women, their cycle is excruciatingly painful or irregular. However, these are not normal, we must not accept them!

The ‘Easier together’ Foundation for Women’s Health is working to make women realize that menstrual pains and disorders are not natural phenomena. There may be a serious disease, endometriosis in the background.

We welcome financial support and volunteer work for the implementation of our programs.
