Shining a light on Endometriosis

Published: 03 Mar 2025 8:43am

Wagga Wagga is getting its glow back this March!

Council is supporting the national Endo Enlightened campaign to raise awareness of endometriosis.

Manager Community Services Madeleine Scully said the 19 trees on the median strips in Fitzmaurice Street will glow yellow for the month of March in demonstration of hope and support, and to raise awareness of the disease.

“Nearly one million Australian women live with endometriosis at some point in their lives, with this debilitating condition often starting in teenagers,” Ms Scully said.

“Symptoms are variable and the disease can take years to be diagnosed. Common symptoms include pelvic pain that disrupts life around or during periods and may impact fertility.”

Trees along the Fitzmaurice Street lit up March 2025 for Endo Enlightenment.

Manager Library Services Christine Bolton said Wagga Wagga City Library will present an endometriosis themed display of books and other resources to assist residents to learn more about the condition.

“We’re encouraging residents to stop in at the library during March to view the books and digital resources that will assist people to learn more about this condition.

“The library is pleased to be able to support the Endo Enlightened campaign.”

The temporary yellow lighting display in Fitzmaurice Street and the library display to support Endo Enlightened will run to the end of March.
