This resolution expresses Senate support for designating October 2026 as "World Menopause Awareness Month" to increase global awareness and improve access to care for women experiencing menopause and post-menopause. The resolution highlights that menopause affects hundreds of millions of women worldwide, with symptoms like hot flashes, memory loss, and mood changes that can last seven to nine years or longer, and that Black and Hispanic women often experience more severe symptoms. It notes that menopausal symptoms cost the U.S. economy approximately $1.8 billion annually in lost work time, with up to 40 percent of affected women experiencing work performance issues and some leaving the workforce entirely. The resolution encourages the Secretaries of Health and Human Services, Defense, and Veterans Affairs to expand medical training on menopause, provide better health information to patients and providers, conduct additional research on treatment options, and improve available screening tools and clinical resources. Unlike most legislation, this resolution does not authorize spending or create binding requirements but rather expresses the Senate's policy position and recommendations to federal agencies.
