Policy Change as Mental Health Advocacy
Individual conversations matter, but systemic change requires policy. Gender-sensitive healthcare, equal parental leave, protections against workplace harassment—these aren’t luxuries, they’re necessities. Advocacy in politics must connect dots: that gender equality directly impacts mental health. A society that supports survivors of abuse, invests in maternal health, and values male mental wellness creates resilience at scale. Progress isn’t just cultural; it’s legislative.
