The 5th Annual Worldwide Endometriosis March took off across the globe this past Saturday, March 24th, 2018 in over 50 countries. Founded by a family of excision specialists, the Nezhats, the march occurs every last Saturday of Endometriosis Awareness Month. Women with endometriosis, friends, and family gathered from Hungary to Hong Kong to advocate for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and compassionate medical care. Here are some of our favorite images from the events!

The Minnesota EndoWarriors outdid themselves this year with a march, speech, and happy hour. Just look at their eye-catching signs! "If you know 10 women, you know endo."

A sea of yellow! This post-event pic shows the worn-out (but never defeated) marchers after completing their 5K loop around the city. So many young faces: girls and boys who will be able to grow up teaching their friends that bad periods are not normal.
