Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 12-18, 2025, as Period Poverty Awareness Week in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 12-18, 2025, as Period Poverty Awareness Week in New York State, highlighting the significant social and health challenges faced by women and girls who struggle to afford menstrual supplies. The resolution draws attention to critical statistics, noting that one in four women and girls have difficulty securing sufficient period products due to income constraints, and that one in five women and girls miss work or school because of inadequate menstrual supplies. By raising awareness about "period poverty," the resolution aims to underscore its status as a serious public health issue that can exacerbate economic hardship and limit educational and professional opportunities for menstruators. The legislative body recognizes that addressing period poverty can lead to improved economic opportunities and health outcomes, emphasizing the importance of ensuring all people have access to basic necessities needed to thrive. As a final action, the resolution directs that a formal, engrossed copy be transmitted to Governor Hochul.
