[co]mapping endometriosis related injustice
« This seminar is a collaborative event between the Endometriose Academy, Endo Violence Collective, and the University of Leeds, bringing together community expertise, creative research, and academic insight. Rooted in the concept of endo violence—a framework co-developed through lived experience, artivism, and interdisciplinary research—this gathering invites participants to reflect on the systemic and everyday injustices faced by people living with endometriosis. Through dialogue, short presentations, and collective reflection, we aim to open space for critical discussion, solidarity, and justice-centred imagining. » Dr Alicja Pawluczuk, Leeds University’s IN+ Network

Rooted in lived experience, community care, and critical research, endo violence is a co-created concept that gives name to the layered and intersectional injustices experienced by those living with endometriosis. Developed through collective authorship and shaped by feminist, disability, and decolonial thinking, endo violence exposes medical, digital, environmental, and social harms as deeply political.
This Berlin-based think-in brings together community voices, researchers, and activists to explore the meaning and potential of endo violence—as concept, practice, and collective response. Through presentations, open dialogue, and community reflection, we aim to build connections and imagine justice-rooted futures together.
