For Women with Endometriosis to be able to be registered as having a disability.

1 in 10 Women suffer with Endometriosis, Endometriosis is formed in different stages & can be found in other areas of the body not just around the womb. Endometriosis limits women day to day because of the pain being unbearable that it can put a lot of limitations on what women can & can’t do.

This petition was rejected on 20th Apr 2021 for not petitioning for a specific action

The Petition Committee commented:
The Government's guidance on disability under the Equality Act 2010 states that you’re disabled if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities: https://www.gov.uk/definition-of-disability-under-equality-act-2010 It is therefore already the case that under the Equality Act, anyone with a physical or a mental condition which has a substantial and long-term impact on your ability to do normal day to day activities is protected under the disability protected characteristic. This could cover people who have endometriosis, where this has a a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on their ability to do normal daily activities. So it's not clear what else you would like to happen.
