Sentenced by UTI
Photo campaign
Every day, thousands of Australians silently suffer from chronic UTI. Misdiagnosed, dismissed and overlooked, they endure relentless pain, isolation and stigma—often for years.
We’re done being invisible.
The Sentenced by UTI photo campaign gives faces—and voices—to those fighting this hidden, life-altering battle. These aren’t just people pics. They’re protest photos. Because when the medical system locks you out, you have to break in.
Join us in demanding better research, better treatment and long-overdue recognition of chronic UTI as the serious condition it is.
This is more than a photo. It’s a movement. Be seen. Be heard.
Instructions – it’s fast and simple!
Step 1: Take a photo
