May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and mental health is a feminist issue.
Women and girls experience higher rates of depression and anxiety, yet many still face barriers to accessing care. Gender-based violence, economic inequality, and caregiving responsibilities all shape mental well-being.
Mental health care should be accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for everyone.
This month, we recognize the importance of mental health, support those who are struggling, and advocate for systems that prioritize well-being.
