A petition requires a Law on Prohibition of Suicide

Organisation representative Bind Skeja has said the institutional level does not provide services for preventing suicide.

Whoever has only a little interest in this area knows that institutional level does not offer a single suicide prevention service. There are no programmes to survive suicide, no network of services that support individuals with suicidal thoughts, no reintegration plans, nor any protection of victims' families”, he stated.

Skeja has said the only thing offered are several days locked up in the psychiatrist for willless treatment, which, according to him, the UN calls human rights violations.

“Civil Society Organisations and groups of activists have repeatedly called for measures to be taken, at least to begin drafting a suicide prevention strategy. However, these calls have been met with silence, although whenever there are tragic cases that take off in the media, the political class has the status states covered with shades of mourning. There are many words, but although they have decision - making powers, they remain only as such. This is a hypocritical situation for us that should not be tolerated”, Ske said.

Based on the Law on Legislative Initiatives, ao has said they will ask the Parliament to draft a law on suicide prevention, the first in the country and the region.

We consider creation vital to be a law that includes all these points, so we invite all the citizens of the country to join us in this cause through the signing of petition”, Skeja has said.
