## Coverage angles

All three sides cover the HCE report, linking women's depression to gender inequality, with different emphases: the left insists on sexist violence and pressures, while the center focuses more on the study and its recommendations.

**Common ground**

- The report comes from the High Council for Equality between Women and Men (HCE)
- It establishes a link between women's depressive vulnerability and gender inequality
- Women are exposed to these factors from adolescence to old age
- The publication is dated November 2.

**Differences**

- The left explicitly highlights sexist and sexual violence (VSS) in its headline, an angle absent from the center's headlines.
- La Croix emphasizes the report's recommendations for prevention and care, an element not taken up by the left.
- The left describes female depression as a product of social construction, a stronger formulation than the center's factual presentation.
