On March 22, we were at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar for a full day dedicated to endometriosis. On the agenda: medical conference, round table with three patients, sophrology workshop and… many tears, many laughs.
120 students and teachers showed up. Three hours of discussion, two microphones circulating without stopping.

African women share their experience with endometriosis.
« For ten years I was told the pain was just part of being a woman. The day I heard the word "endometriosis", I could finally name what I was living. Sister Endo Africa gave me a mirror: I wasn't crazy, I wasn't alone. »
« The listening circles changed something in me. Hearing other sisters tell their story was like hearing mine in stereo. You come out stronger. »
