Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 12-18, 2025, as Period Poverty Awareness Week in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 106) asks Governor Hochul to officially designate May 12-18, 2025, as "Period Poverty Awareness Week" in New York. It aims to highlight that one in four women and girls struggle to afford menstrual products, leading to missed school or work, and emphasizes period products as essential health necessities. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but seeks to raise public awareness about period poverty as a public health issue.
