How I Face Bullying inspite of my Health Struggles as an Ostomate
Mechanics of the Contest in the picture.
Join us in celebrating courage, strength, and triumph over adversity in our special World Ostomy Day 2025 essay contest.
We invite ostomates from around the Philippines to share their powerful stories under the theme “How I Cope with Bullying Despite My Health Struggles as an Ostomate.” This contest aims to amplify the voices of those who have faced the dual challenge of managing life with an ostomy while confronting bullying, discrimination, or social stigma.
Your story matters—whether it’s about finding inner strength during difficult moments, developing coping strategies that helped you thrive, building supportive communities, or transforming painful experiences into sources of empowerment for others. Through sharing these authentic narratives, we hope to break down barriers, educate communities, and inspire fellow ostomates who may be struggling with similar challenges.
Essays can include personal anecdotes, practical advice, or reflections on how your ostomy journey has shaped your resilience. Winners will be featured in our website and facebook page and receive recognition for their contribution to raising awareness about the realities and triumphs of ostomy life.
Let your voice be heard—submit your essay and help us show the world that having an ostomy doesn’t define our limitations, but rather highlights our incredible capacity for strength and adaptation.
