A lot of people are not aware that women are at comparatively higher risk of suicide during the years they experience peri-menopause and menopause.

The highest suicide rate is for women between the ages of 50-54. The years preceding 50 are not far behind.

Anti-racist rallies all over on October 19, in response to the next round of these 'Marches for Australia'. Get to your one. It's your opportunity not only to stand up, but to start meeting and making plans with other anti-racists. Your presence matters. Share it around.
