Understanding suicide rates in women: A call for action

Rachael Swann — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 17:01:54 +0000

Each year, more than 250,000 women worldwide die by suicide, and women are twice as likely as men to try to take their own lives. Concerningly, suicide rates among women under 25 have nearly doubled in recent years. In England and Wales the number of suicides have increased to their highest level since 1994 with women aged 50-54 showing the highest rates. Between 2012 and 2022, there was a 32% rise in women's suicides in the UK. Most of these deaths are preventable with timely intervention and appropriate support.
