Hello everyone this is Mansi Dwivedi, a high school student, championing mental health awareness through my online initiative. Spearheading a female-led group, I not only sheds light on mental health but also advocates for gender equality in psychology, STEM, and philosophy. In a digital age dominated by social media, my platform harnesses its power for good, fostering discussions, sharing resources, and debunking stereotypes. By amplifying voices and experiences, I try to dismantles the notion that females lag in intellectual pursuits. My initiative doesn't just raise awareness; it inspires young minds to embrace their potential and contributes to a more inclusive, understanding society.i  have created this blog page to share the articles written by my amazing team writers. We spread this awareness through Instagram and we are working on taking over various other social media platforms. My main reason to start this initiative is to do something that u really care about. Teenagers and adults are suffering alone. And I, along with my team need to the voice for them! I hope y'all stick around on this journey! 

With love, 
Mansi

But Aileen Wuornos stands out—not just because she was a woman in a world dominated by male serial offenders, but because her story is rooted deeply in trauma, mental illness, and societal failure. Her case forces us to look beyond the crimes and into the mind of a woman shaped by pain, neglect, and desperation. Who Was Aileen Wuornos?
