HRES 372 United States House · 119th 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 372 is a symbolic resolution designating May as "National Menstrual Health Awareness Month" to address stigma around menstruation. It does not create new laws but formally recognizes how menstrual stigma impacts women, girls, and people who menstruate in areas like education, health, and daily life. The resolution supports efforts to normalize menstruation, improve access to menstrual products and sanitation facilities, and promote research on menstrual health conditions. It urges awareness and education to advance gender equity but has no legal force or direct policy changes.
