Nurturing Mental Strength and Fostering Inclusive Leadership in Women

Abstract

In recent years, the discourse surrounding women's empowerment and leadership has garnered significant attention, acknowledging their pivotal role in shaping diverse facets of society (Stromquist, 2015). The evolving narrative celebrates their contributions across social, economic, and political spheres, acknowledging their transformative impact on innovation, collaboration, and positive societal change. However, the journey toward women's empowerment often intertwines with a landscape fraught with challenges that significantly affect their mental health. This paper delves deeper into the complex relationship between mental health and women's leadership. It examines the multifaceted aspects that contribute to and hinder their empowerment.
