“We need to treat the roots, we need to treat the cause, and not the symptoms.”

Structural factors such as inequality, discrimination, poverty, unemployment, and lack of housing, are all drivers of poor mental health.

@AllisonMorris1 thank you! We’ve lost so many women and girls, this has been happening for decades - our justice system and government continually failing to protect vulnerable women and girls. Only just this year we have a strategy to tackle violence against women and girls 😡
