  • If you feel bad...

Behind the figures of African women affected with mental health and neurological conditions are women in diverse contexts, facing many systemic and structural issues. This article interrogates meanings, narratives, and understandings of mental health and emotional wellbeing for African women drawing on experiences of their realities. It is informed by the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) report, Women and Non-Communicable Diseases in Africa (AWDF, 2020), in addition to analyses of research interspersed with blog posts and news clippings of African women’s stories. From the scourge of violence against women to physical wellbeing and belief systems, African women’s mental health and emotional wellbeing is tied to various domains of health, culture, and society. The analyses below reveal that mental health for African women is about our social and economic conditions and supports a more robust feminist engagement for impactful redress.
