Relative to Pain Awareness Month and Women in Pain Awareness Day.

This House Resolution (HR 51) declares September 2025 as "Pain Awareness Month" and September 1, 2025, as "Women in Pain Awareness Day" in California. It aims to highlight gender disparities in pain treatment - where women’s pain reports are often dismissed compared to men’s - and encourages Californians to participate in awareness activities. The resolution references statistics on chronic pain prevalence and notes that women experience higher rates of certain pain-related conditions. As a symbolic measure (not a law), it does not create new policies, funding, or mandates but seeks to raise public attention on these issues.
