In 12 Women, Gosia Bilicka addresses endometriosis as a chronic and frequently misdiagnosed disease that affects one in ten women. The text outlines the physical progression of the condition, the severity of pain, and the consequences of delayed diagnosis, often caused by misinformation and the trivialization of symptoms, including within the medical system. It also points to the financial imbalance between available public funding and the cost of surgical treatment. As an Edge of Humanity Magazine contributor, Bilicka uses this documentary project to emphasize the disruption of daily life and the normalization of suffering experienced by those living with the illness.
