Women, in all their diversity, make up the majority of the teaching workforce. Their well-being is closely linked to both their psychological and physical health. Factors such as stress and anxiety, often heightened by the demands of teaching, can significantly impact mental health, leading to burnout or emotional exhaustion. In addition to their professional responsibilities, many women face a double burden of unpaid domestic and caregiving work, which can strain their work-life balance and exacerbate stress and fatigue. Additionally, hormonal changes related to menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause can affect mood, energy levels, and cognitive functioning, influencing how teachers feel and perform at work. As a result, reproductive health issues may lead to fatigue, discomfort, or absenteeism. Addressing these interconnected health aspects is essential to supporting the overall well-being and professional sustainability of women in educational roles.
