For Grace will provide the foundation for women to have their pain managed effectively and without bias through self-empowerment, public awareness, healthcare professional education, and legislative advocacy.
Through these collective actions, women in pain will no longer be victimized by cultural myths and professional misconceptions, which most often result in the discounting and/or dismissal of their pain reports as being “all in their head”, “psychogenic”, “hysterical”, “hormonal”, or otherwise “not real”, and may lead to serious or life-threatening medical consequences.
All women will be guaranteed a standard of pain care comparable to their male counterparts and will be allowed to express their pain experience in a way that is true to their nature, without fear of being labeled “too emotional”.
Ultimately, For Grace will enable women to improve the quality of their lives and to be empowered with the self-dignity to demand this basic human right.
