 Towards a New Millennium for
Women Living with Epilepsy
One woman living with epilepsy related how, as a child at school, she had matches thrown down her blouse simply because she had epilepsy.
One woman living with epilepsy related how she was mugged in front of her two toddlers while she was unconscious during a tonic clonic seizure in a mall.
One woman living with epilepsy told how she was not allowed to hold her newborn child because people around her were so terrified of her seizures.
| Women's stories tell us that there is still a long way to go. |
Women with epilepsy can be vulnerable to abuse and assault.
Women with epilepsy rarely have access to information about how epilepsy affects and is affected by women's bodies and women's lives.
| The goal of our Millennium Initiative is to empower women living with epilepsy through providing knowledge and support. |
