Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 11-17, 2025, as Period Poverty Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize May 11-17, 2026, as Period Poverty Awareness Week. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about period poverty, which occurs when women and girls cannot afford menstrual products due to financial constraints. By designating this specific week, the bill seeks to highlight the issue's impact on health, education, and economic stability without mandating any new laws or funding. The measure is symbolic and does not create any enforceable requirements or change existing state policies.
