The report also reveals that 14.5% of the population has had suicidal ideation or has attempted suicide, which occurs to a greater extent among women (17.0%) than among men (11.7%), “due to so for the Confederation it is crucial to implement the gender perspective in all the measures it proposes in terms of mental health”, says González Zapico.
