  Gender and Mental Health: Challenges Faced by Women and a Feminist Perspective

  Türkkan, Tuğba; Odaci, Hatice

  Mental health issues affect millions of people worldwide, leading to negative outcomes in various areas such as academic achievement, job performance, and quality of life. Women are known to be more prone to mental health problems than men, a phenomenon explained by biological sensitivity, genetic and hormonal differences, physiological stress responses, and exposure to environmental risk factors. However, research examining the impact of gender roles on mental health remains limited. Gender roles shape individuals' thought patterns, self-esteem, and emotion regulation strategies, making them significant factors that can influence mental health. In this context, the study aims to explore the effects of gender norms on mental health from a feminist perspective and evaluate the role of gender-based antecedents in this process through a review of the current literature. The study findings reveal that traditional gender roles negatively affect women’s mental health, while approaches promoting equality yield positive outcomes. Enhancing women’s access to education and economic independence is a crucial step toward reducing gender-based inequalities. Additionally, implementing gender equality policies and increasing inclusive representations in the media can mitigate the adverse effects on mental health. Education, awareness campaigns, and supportive social policies have the potential to reduce the impact of gender roles and improve individuals’ mental health. This study aims to guide effective mental health policies and targeted interventions.

  Türkkan, Tuğba; Odaci, Hatice

  Violence against women is a widespread global public health problem. It is also a serious violation of women's human rights. Violence has traumatic effects on the health and well-being of women and the children who witness it. Violence against women is associated with physical, mental, emotional, sexual health, reproductive health problems and death. Violence and gender norms, which are one of the risk factors causing the continuation of violence; also have significant effects on families and societies, and these negative effects cross social and economic boundaries. However, it is also clear that current prevention initiatives and policy responses are insufficient.

While providing mental health services, İt is very important to be aware of interpersonal violence and to provide gender-sensitive services. When providing these services, the impact of violence against women on mental health and knowledge of potential treatments are considered as a prerequisite.

For this reason, in this review, the concept of violence against women and the types of violence are explained and in this context, the initiatives that can be made in the field of mental health are included.
