This study explores the impact of sexism on women’s psychological well-being and
resilience. It also explores the critical predictors of sexism among women. By utilizing
a purposive sampling technique, 100 samples were collected. This study uses various
scales, such as the Everyday Sexism Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and
Brief Resilience Scale, for data collection. By highlighting the psychological toll of
everyday sexism, this research underscores the need for supportive social policies
and educational programs that foster resilience in women. The findings from this study
can provide direction for workplaces, schools, and mental health practitioners to develop
environments that support women’s wellness, thus aiding in creating a more equal
society. Future research should explore additional factors and extend this analysis to
other marginalized populations, broadening understanding of how individuals can
effectively counteract the mental health impacts of sexism.
