Bill > HRes372

This resolution recognizes the critical importance of menstrual health and supports designating May as "National Menstrual Health Awareness Month". The resolution highlights significant global challenges related to menstruation, including that 500 million people lack access to menstrual products and proper sanitation facilities, and that cultural stigma can negatively impact women's and girls' lives. The resolution aims to normalize menstruation as a healthy biological process, eliminate period stigma, and educate people about menstrual health management. It calls for supporting the development of new educational standards, improving access to menstrual health care and information, and recognizing how menstrual health disparities affect economic opportunities and gender equity. The resolution specifically supports educating young people about menstrual health's impact on physical and mental well-being, acknowledges the need for appropriate menstrual products and sanitation facilities in schools and workplaces, and emphasizes the importance of expanding clinical research on conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to promote health equity and reduce the negative social and psychological impacts of menstruation-related stigma.
