A resolution supporting the designation of the week of June 23 through June 29, 2025, as "National Women's Sports Week" to celebrate the anniversary of the enactment of title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the growth of women's sports.
S.Res. 295 is a Senate resolution supporting the designation of June 23-29, 2025, as "National Women's Sports Week" to commemorate the 53rd anniversary of Title IX, the landmark 1972 law that banned sex discrimination in education and athletics. The resolution celebrates the dramatic expansion of women's sports participation since Title IX's enactment, noting a 545 percent increase in college female athletes and a 990 percent increase in high school female athletes. The resolution calls for the Senate to recognize female athletes' contributions and accomplishments during that week through educational programs and activities. The resolution also expresses support for "legislative efforts to protect single-sex sports," reflecting ongoing debates about athletic participation policies. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or enforcement mechanism—it expresses the Senate's position rather than creating law or appropriating money.
