“I’m protesting for the millions of women, young and old, who suffer from pain daily, multiple surgeries, infertility, financial hardship due to medical bills, and years of missing out on life because of one or all of these reasons. At 24, I was told I had endometriosis - 3 surgeries, financial problems, stress, anxiety and 2 decades of pain later there is still no cure for my endometriosis which continues to get worse every month. We need a change.” - Kyung Jeon, Artist
#WeMatterACOG For decades, we've been collectively fighting obstacles to care & calling for change. Time & time again, ACOG executives have been presented with the grave reproductive injustices endured by patients at the hands of their members, but failed to act. In the U.S. today, individuals still see an average of 8 doctors over 10 years before they are diagnosed. Due to lack of proper education & training among ACOG's approximately 58k OBGYN member providers, patients are regularly told their symptoms are ‘in their heads’ or ‘normal’, that pregnancy & hysterectomy are cures, & that hormonal medications effectively treat the disease. The time of inaction is over. The time for change is now. JOIN US as we stand up & say #WeMatterACOG.
