World Suicide Prevention Day
Description:
Suicide for a variety of reasons remains an urgent problem in Azerbaijan.
The International Association for Suicide Prevention, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), is calling on the public to hold events on this day to strengthen their sense of responsibility to save the lives of people who may be lost by suicide.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), suicide is the biggest problem of mankind, causing the death of a million people every year. Suicide is also a major cause of death globally, especially among young people. WHO calls for the prevention of suicide, based on a universal approach that covers not only health, but also education, law enforcement, justice, religion, politics, the media.
Interestingly, there are many cases of voluntary farewell to life in rich countries with high social security. It is believed that the world leaders in suicide are Swedes, although they are also one of the richest people on the planet. Suicide is an evil that we will not get rid of even if we live like Swedes.
The best protection of society from suicide could be national traditions, family values and other qualities inherent in our people.
