The resolution addresses the significant impact of menopause on individuals, particularly older women and transgender or nonbinary people, highlighting the lack of guidance and resources available to them. It emphasizes that menopause is a universal experience for those who menstruate, with symptoms that can be severe and long-lasting, affecting various aspects of health and well-being. The resolution notes the potential health complications associated with menopause, including cardiovascular diseases and mental health issues, and underscores the need for tailored education and preventive measures to improve health outcomes.

Furthermore, the resolution points out the societal stigma surrounding menopause, particularly in the workplace, where many women feel uncomfortable discussing their experiences. It cites research indicating that a substantial number of women miss work due to menopausal symptoms, resulting in significant economic costs. In response, the resolution calls for the Senate to support initiatives aimed at providing better tools and treatments for those affected by menopause, and it mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to relevant state health authorities and the Governor of Washington.
