Episode 64, S2, Socio-Psychological Analysis of Virginity and Its Influence on Women's Mental Health, Podcast Gulabi Sambad

The analysis of virginity's impact on women's mental health reveals a complex interaction of cultural, societal, and individual factors. Across many cultures, virginity is highly valued for women, leading to pressure to meet rigid standards. This often creates feelings of shame and anxiety if expectations aren't met. Additionally, inadequate sexual education can worsen these issues. Factors like race and class also play a role. Empowering women to make informed choices, challenging stereotypes, and providing support networks are crucial for promoting positive mental health outcomes in navigating societal attitudes towards virginity. In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we delved into a socio-psychological examination of virginity and its impact on women's mental health, featuring insights from psychologist Jamuna Sharma. Sharma has described the deeply ingrained societal perceptions surrounding virginity and how these beliefs infringe upon the rights of girls and women, ultimately affecting their mental well-being. #virginity⁠ #hymen ⁠#sexualhealth⁠ #mentalhealth #socialbeliefs ⁠#SRHR⁠ ⁠#podcast⁠ ⁠#spotify⁠ ⁠#gulabisambad⁠
