HCE study on women's mental health risks

A study by the High Council for Equality between Women and Men (HCE) published a report on Monday, November 2, which analyzes the risks affecting women and that undermine their mental health.

Report highlights multiple factors

The report identifies several factors that contribute to the mental health challenges women face, including work-related stress, domestic responsibilities, and societal expectations.

Gender-based violence emphasized

Gender-based violence is highlighted as a significant contributor to mental health issues among women, with the report noting its long-term psychological effects.

Workplace and family pressures

The study also examines how the dual pressures of professional obligations and family duties disproportionately affect women, leading to higher stress levels and emotional strain.

Recommendations for policy changes

The HCE report calls for policy changes aimed at reducing gender inequality and improving mental health support systems specifically tailored for women.
