Our Story
We believe that young people deserve a transformed experience with their endometriosis diagnosis.
They should believe in themselves and others, and feel confident navigating the healthcare system.
No one should go through endometriosis alone
We started with the story of one young woman—our founder, Milli Weaver - who used her lived experience with endometriosis to transform the journey for others.
In 2023, Milli founded Endo Articles in Sydney, Australia, believing that the stories of young people with endometriosis should be heard, their experiences supported, and their voices believed - exactly what we stand for!
Today, now formally known as the Australian Endometriosis Foundation (AEF), the organisation supports more than 11,000 young women through in-person programs, education and age-appropriate resources
Too much of the endometriosis experience is based on old science, outdated perceptions, social anxiety and mistruths. AEF exists to rewrite that journey, giving young women the confidence and support to navigate endometriosis on their own terms.
In 2026, Milli was named Young Woman of the Year, recognising her work founding and growing AEF, and the community she created around it — a community giving thousands of young women a place to feel less alone.
The next chapter of the AEF is about turning this growing community into lasting change. The AEF exists to create a future where every young woman experiencing endometriosis has access to the right information, meaningful support and a community that understands from the very beginning of her journey.
From one young woman’s story came a community. From that community comes the opportunity to change the story for generations to come.
