Menstruation is a normal biological process that most women experience for about 40 years of their lives, yet globally, 500 million people lack access to menstrual products and adequate sanitation facilities. Conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and PCOS remain understudied, and cultural stigma around periods still limits access to school, work, and daily activities. This resolution supports designating May as National Menstrual Health Awareness Month, calls for normalizing menstruation, improving access to menstrual products and facilities in schools and workplaces, expanding clinical research on menstrual health conditions, and ensuring that 6,000 women entering menopause every day in the U.S. have better support and information.
Congressional Summary
This resolution supports the designation of National Menstrual Health Awareness Month to educate people about menstrual health and eliminate period stigma.
