Why is mental health support important in women work?

Correct answer: To cope with stress caused by dual responsibilities and workplace pressure

Women may have to manage paid work along with household and caregiving responsibilities. Dual responsibilities, discrimination, unsafe workplaces, or work pressure can increase stress, anxiety, and exhaustion. Mental health support, such as counselling, supportive workplaces, and stress-management measures, improves wellbeing and work capacity. Option B is not a solution: support is meant to help women work safely and healthily, not to make them leave work. Exam tip: Use terms such as ‘dual burden’, ‘stress’, and ‘mental wellbeing’ in your answer.
