The resolution designates October of each year as "Menopause Awareness Month," with specific days for "Perimenopause Day" on October 11 and "Postmenopause Day" on October 18 in New Jersey. This initiative aligns with global observances by organizations such as the International Menopause Society and the World Health Organization, aiming to raise awareness about menopause and its associated symptoms. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle, typically occurring around the age of 51, but can start earlier. The resolution highlights the various symptoms women may experience during menopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause, which can significantly impact their daily lives and mental health.

The resolution also emphasizes the importance of open discussions about menopause, as many women feel isolated due to the stigma surrounding the topic. By officially recognizing these observances, the resolution seeks to promote education, support, and management options for women undergoing these transitions. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to encourage public awareness and participation in activities that support women's health and well-being during these natural biological processes.
