The struggle to balance work and family responsibilities, discrimination in the workplace, and gender inequality are just a few of the stressors that working women face on a daily basis. According to the World Health Organization, mental health disorders are the leading cause of disability among women worldwide. Despite the high prevalence of mental health issues among working women, there is a lack of research on their coping strategies and the social factors that influence their mental health. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the coping strategies employed by working women and the social factors that influence their mental health. Working women face multiple challenges, including work-related stress, gender discrimination, harassment, and balancing work and family responsibilities. These challenges can lead to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, burnout, and other stress-related disorders. The societal expectations and cultural norms associated with gender roles can also contribute to mental health problems among working women. Women are often expected to fulfil traditional gender roles, such as being a homemaker, caregivers, and nurturers, along with their professional duties. Such expectations can lead to feelings of guilt, anxiety, and inadequacy, resulting in mental health problems. This study aims to understand the coping strategies employed by working women to manage these challenges and the social factors that influence their mental health.
