This resolution encourages the observation of National Period Awareness Week and Menstrual Hygiene Day. It also recognizes the efforts of individuals and entities to support those struggling with period poverty prior to and during the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. (Period poverty refers to a lack of access to menstrual products, which can adversely affect a person's health and well-being.)
