This Senate resolution designates October 2025 as "World Menopause Awareness Month" to draw attention to the health needs of menopausal and post-menopausal women globally and domestically. The resolution acknowledges that approximately three-quarters of women experience significant menopause symptoms like hot flashes that can last 7-9 years or longer, affecting work productivity and quality of life—costing the U.S. economy an estimated $1.8 billion annually in lost work time. The resolution particularly notes that Black and Hispanic women may experience more severe symptoms for longer periods. While the resolution does not allocate funding, it encourages federal health agencies (including the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Defense, and Veterans Affairs) to improve public education about menopause treatments, train healthcare providers on menopause care, conduct additional research, and share evidence-based information about available treatment options to help women manage their symptoms and maintain health during this life stage.
