New police figures out this week about the link between suicide & domestic abuse. Such an important wake-up call. My eyes were opened by the report by @agenda-alliance.bsky.social @mcmanussally.bsky.social - well worth a look ⬇️
@nazirafzal.bsky.social
In 2023, our report 'Underexamined and Underreported' found that woman who had experienced intimate partner violence were 3x more likely to have attemped suicide within the previous year.

It's good to see increasing recognition of these links from the police.
