The event materials note several factual points about women's mental health: women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression or anxiety; suicide attempts are higher among females; females are underrepresented in clinical research; a notable proportion of young women have self-harmed. The event frames its fundraising around improving access to care and advancing research for women. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
