This resolution designates April 20-26, 2025, as Infertility Awareness Week, highlighting the significant challenges faced by individuals and couples struggling with fertility issues. The resolution notes that infertility affects one in eight couples, with approximately 9% of men and 11% of women experiencing fertility problems, and impacts both genders equally. It emphasizes that infertility can cause substantial psychological distress, including feelings of anger, guilt, sadness, depression, and anxiety, while also creating emotional and financial challenges for those affected. The resolution aims to raise awareness about infertility, remove barriers to care, reduce social stigma, and increase empathy toward those experiencing fertility challenges. By designating this specific week, the resolution seeks to encourage education and support for individuals dealing with infertility, and calls on the state to explore solutions that can improve access to fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI), ultimately helping more people start or expand their families.
