It’s time to rewrite the law.

[Ukuthula @UkuthulaMw]

Suicide is a cry for help, not a criminal act. Decriminalising attempted suicide in Malawi is a very important step toward mental health justice and destigmatization. #SupportNotPunish #MentalHealthForAll

[Ukuthula @UkuthulaMw]

As Honorable Peter Dimba has said “For a person to get to a point of trying to eliminate their life it means mentally they were disturbed due to various reasons and therefore I would urge government to amend the Penal Code so that suicide attempt should not be criminal.”

[Ukuthula @UkuthulaMw]

On April 11th of 2025 Mental Health Bill No. 17 was passed replacing The Mental Health Treatment act of 1948. The new bill is a human-rights based approach to mental health in Malawi however under section 229 of the Malawi penal code attempted suicide is still criminalized. 1/3

[Ukuthula @UkuthulaMw]

We at Ukuthula call for attempted suicide to be decriminalized, with rising suicide cases in Malawi all efforts must be made towards quality and accessible mental health care & the destigmatization of mental health so people are able to seek the help they need.
