Why Support Mental Health?
Limited access to mental health and social service support has far-reaching consequences for women - contributing to higher rates of mental health challenges and deepening existing gender and social inequities and exacerbating issues related to family and community well-being.
Mental health concerns exist in every community and every country. One in four people are afflicted by mental illness at some point in their lives, with women twice as likely as men to be diagnosed(Projecthope.org)
Mental health is directly linked to poverty and gender-related issues child marriage, low social status, lack of education and physical abuse.
