Dude, they're saying it's worrying if 3 out of every 4 people who commit suicide are women
Without the total number, it could literally be 3 people for all I know. Not that I don't feel for the women in this situation.
In another reply someone quoted a better article that said ~100 suicide attempts. That's all I was asking for
Do you think it's going to be significantly less than in other places? What would be the reason for that?
