Dr Sabine Kapasi, Co-Founder and MD at Enira Consulting Pvt Ltd., Well-known Gynecologist and an IVF specialist, says, “The intersection of mental health struggles and gender-based violence among women is not just a statistic on a chart; it’s the heartbeat of daily reality. The findings of the National Family Health Survey from 2019 to 2021 paint a stark picture: 30% of women in India bear the scars of gender-based violence, a burden that amplifies their risk of anxiety and depression. This International Women’s Day, let us recognize the profound impact of these experiences on women’s mental well-being. Let us commit to providing holistic care, breaking down barriers to access, and advocating for policies that address the root causes of this crisis. Together, let us heal not just bodies, but spirits, and empower women to reclaim their mental health and their lives.”

Ms Pritika Singh, CEO at Prayag Hospitals Group, says, “On International Women’s

Day, let us celebrate the remarkable achievements of women everywhere. As the CEO of Prayag Hospitals, I am continuously inspired by the strength, resilience, and leadership of women in our organization and beyond. Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to empowering women, fostering diversity and inclusion, and creating opportunities for women to thrive in every aspect of life. Let us also encourage more women to pursue careers in the STEM field, where their unique perspectives and talents are greatly needed. Together, we can build a future where every woman has the opportunity to fulfill her potential and make a positive impact on the world.

Happy International Women’s Day.”
