VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each question.
Gender discrimination is a source of stress, and like any other stressor, it can directly affect mental health.
Research from 2020 refers to a study in which women who reported experiencing gender discrimination in the past
12 months scored more highly than others on a depression screening tool. Depending on the situation, facing
discrimination can also result in anxiety and psychological trauma.
The authors of the research paper argue that discrimination plays a key role in the “gender gap” in rates of
mental illness. Women experience higher rates of most mental health conditions, including:
- depression, which is twice as prevalent among women
- anxiety
- post-traumatic stress disorder, which is often called PTSD
- eating disorders, which are 4-10 times more prevalent in women
Women are also 1.5 times more likely to attempt suicide than men, although men are more likely to die by
suicide. For people assigned female at birth, biological factors may play a role in these differences. However,
studies have found fewer gender differences in the rates of mental illness in societies with more equality among
men and women. This suggests that inequity and discrimination play a major role in these disparities.
As the World Health Organization (WHO) notes, gender inequality is also a risk factor for gender-based
violence. Thirty percent of women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence at some point in their
lives. The rate is higher, 47%, among trans people, and even higher among trans people of color and those who
have done sex work, experienced homelessness, or have a current or past disability.
Experiencing any type of abuse or assault can lead to a mental health condition, as well as further
complications that are traumatic in themselves. For example, if a person survives sexual assault, they may become
pregnant, contract a sexually transmitted infection, or become excluded from their community.

A. Gender Inequality Badly Affects Women’s Health B. Critical Issues Caused by Gender Discrimination
C. Women Suffer More Mental Problems Than Men Do D. Effects of Gender Discrimination on Mental Health

A. depression and anxiety B. PTSD
C. gender-based violence D. eating disorders

A. men have much more mental illnesses in societies with more equality among men and women
B. there are lower rates of mental illness in societies with more equality among men and women
C. there are lower rates of mental illness in societies with less equality among men and women
D. women have much fewer mental illnesses in societies with more equality among men and women
