Globally, 14% of adolescents experience mental health conditions. Girls’ mental health is shaped by various factors including their living conditions, stigma in their communities, and lack of access to the support they need. As we celebrate 10 years of International Day of the Girl, how have you helped girls to access the mental health services they need? Let’s call for #GirlsRightsNow for improved mental health.
