Designates March 1 of each year as "Endometriosis Awareness Day" in New Jersey.
AJR 175 designates March 1 of every year as "Endometriosis Awareness Day" in New Jersey. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the day through awareness activities. It directly affects New Jersey residents, particularly those impacted by endometriosis - a chronic condition affecting about 1 in 10 menstruating individuals worldwide, often causing severe pain and delayed diagnosis (7-10 years on average). The resolution aims to raise public awareness and recognize healthcare providers working on this issue, aligning with national Endometriosis Awareness Month in March.
