The 2023 study ‘Women and girls: Empowerment through mental health’, funded by Kate Spade New York and conducted by Prospira Global, presented new research that underscored the foundational role that mental health plays in women’s empowerment and how it is currently integrated.

In 2024, Prospira Global and Kate Spade New York conducted a follow-up survey to assess the current landscape and how the integration of women and girls’ mental health has changed within the gender community. This report provides an overview of these findings.

There is still work to be done. We are encouraged by the engagement of the gender community on the 2023 research and we hope that this report reaffirms the need for continued support of the mental health of women and girls to achieve long term access to their authentic voice, choice and power.
