AJR 143 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates October 11 of each year as "Perimenopause Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 143 designates October 11 of each year as "Perimenopause Day" in New Jersey. It aims to raise public awareness about perimenopause - the natural transition to menopause often marked by symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness - and reduce stigma around these symptoms. The resolution asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging awareness activities, aligning with the existing "World Perimenopause Day" observed on the same date. This symbolic measure directly supports women experiencing perimenopause by promoting education about their symptoms and available care options.
