The photography exhibition ‘Behind Her Smile: Two Faces, One Truth’ amazed everyone during the EndoMarch Cyprus 2026 campaign, revealing the hidden struggles of endometriosis.
The event was held at the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation and is part of the global EndoMarch awareness initiative. This year’s message is ‘Learn Her Truth. Hear Her Story.’ It is supported by the Ministry of Health, with Nurofen as a strategic partner.

Through stunning photographic portraits and stories, the exhibition showed the daily challenges faced by many women. It highlighted the pain, uncertainty, and strength behind a smile. Eight talented actresses – Marina Vrondi, Marina Makri, Marina Mandri, Niki Dragoumi, Antonia Charalambous, Eleni Sidera, Margarita Zachariou, and Polyxeni Savva – shared real stories of women living with this condition.
The President of the EndoMarch Cyprus Campaign, gynecologist Andreas Stavroulis, said the initiative aims to turn silence into voice and pain into strength. He highlighted that many women suffer in silence. Important data showed that endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, with up to 50% facing infertility.
The Strategic Partner Team Nurofen
In her speech, Speaker of Parliament Annita Demetriou pointed out that the campaign brings real stories to light. She reminded us that every woman deserves to be heard. She also stressed that the state must support patients effectively. From the private sector, Executive Manager of MSJ Group Michalis Iakovidis mentioned that Nurofen’s role as a strategic partner boosts awareness efforts for timely symptom recognition and medical care.
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. For the 11th year in a row, nonprofit organization EndoMarch Cyprus joins the global movement Worldwide EndoMarch, alongside over 75 countries.
The exhibition will also be shown at the Four Seasons Hotel Limassol, giving more people a chance to experience this impactful event.
The campaign is designed by Avaton Communications. Media partner Madame Figaro plays a key role in sharing women’s stories. EndoMarch Cyprus 2026 is more than just a campaign. It’s a reminder that behind every smile may be an unseen struggle – and that awareness, understanding, and support can truly make a difference.
