Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW) is the only patient-led third sector organisation in Wales dedicated solely to women’s health equality.
It is a not-for-profit organisation, registered with Community and Voluntary Support Conwy, and a member of the Wales Council for Voluntary Action.
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis 7 years ago, after battling with the disease since I was 11 years old.
Endometriosis is a debilitating and chronic illness affecting atleast 10% of women and girls of reproductive age. It is also one of the most poorly understood conditions affecting women, taking an average of 7.5yrs to get a diagnosis.
Women and girls with endometriosis frequently undergo nemerous invasive procedures and surgeries with non-specialist clinicians, and endure years of inaffective treatments.
I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to access the services of FTWW who have supported, educated and advised me. FTWW has enabled me to advocate for myself and to access specialise care I require.
I cannot put into words how special this organisation is to myself and all the other ladies who are apart of it. This year for my upcoming birthday (on the 7th of April) I am fundraising for FTWW and would be ever so grateful for any donations, no matter how small. Thank you everyone ?
