About the Conference
The FemCities Conference 2024 „Mental Health or Mental Load? Mental health care as a city responsibility” will delve into the multifaceted intersection of mental health, women, and support systems by cities, fostering crucial conversations on pressing issues faced by today’s urban environments.
The conference will spotlight the often-overlooked mental load carried by women as caregivers, exploring the intricate challenges and responsibilities they bear in both personal and professional spheres. We aim to dismantle stereotypes and foster a deeper understanding of the unique struggles faced by women, offering insights to empower and share strategies for balance.
