MENOPAUSE AWARENESS WEEK
SJR 52 is a symbolic resolution declaring October 11-17, 2026, as Menopause Awareness Week in Illinois. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to raise public awareness about menopause and perimenopause impacts. The resolution highlights statistics on limited awareness (94% of women inadequately informed) and treatment gaps (only 19% of women aged 40-60 receiving a diagnosis), though it focuses solely on recognition, not policy change. This procedural resolution directly affects Illinois residents by designating a specific week for educational outreach.
