    In many low-income communities across South Asia and beyond, mental health support is virtually non-existent. Mental health nurses \u2014 especially community-based specialists who can visit people in their homes \u2014 are in critically short supply. Too many people struggling with mental health issues have nowhere to turn.<\/p>\n

    Violence against women and girls further deepens this crisis. It is a major public health concern, leaving lasting trauma and disrupting survivors\u2019 social, economic, and psychological well-being. With suicide now the leading cause of death among women of working age in several South Asian countries, the shortage of trained mental health nurses is both chronic and urgent. Building a new generation of nurses equipped to provide compassionate, community-based care is not only essential \u2014 it is lifesaving.<\/p>\n<\/div>
