International Women’s Day is an annual day of celebration on March 8, observed with a focus on issues such as gender equality, women empowerment, and reproductive rights.
There is much to reflect upon and look forward to as we embark on 2024. As we enter this new year, our shared commitment to preventing suicide and suicidal behaviour remains unwavering.
For 2024-2026, we invite you to participate in this global consultation process towards identifying our next triennial World Suicide Prevention Day theme.
National suicide prevention strategies aim to establish a coordinated and sustained multi-sectoral approach to the prevention of suicide, yet only around 40 countries currently have a formalised national strategy to reduce suicides.
Do you live in a country where suicide is a crime? Whether you're in healthcare, politics, crisis support, the law, or just believe in compassion, join us. Let's change the law and save lives together.
