HRES 351 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing the impact the stigmatization of menstruation has on the lives of women, girls, and people who menstruate, and expressing support for the designation of the month of May as "National Menstrual Health Awareness Month".

HRES 351 is a symbolic resolution designating May as "National Menstrual Health Awareness Month" to address stigma around menstruation. It recognizes that stigma and lack of access to products/facilities impact women, girls, and people who menstruate in education, work, and health. The resolution supports normalizing menstruation, improving menstrual health education, and promoting access to products and private sanitation facilities. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but aims to raise awareness and advance gender equity through public acknowledgment.
