Since 2023, Prospira Global, in partnership with Kate Spade New York, has been building a growing body of research on the role of mental health in women’s and girls’ empowerment. This work has helped underscore that mental health is not separate from empowerment efforts, but foundational to women and girls’ voice, choice, and power.

In 2025, this research continues through The Global Fund for Women’s Mental Health, powered by Kate Spade New York. This year’s report explores how women’s organisations are continuing to integrate mental health into their work in a changing global landscape, and highlights the importance of sustaining women-led organizations and investing in approaches that support both wellbeing and empowerment.

The report provides an overview of the latest findings, key shifts across the field, and the continued case for integrated, community-informed action
