"Having said that, we also need to realise that everyone in the community has a role to play in seeing signs of domestic violence or violence against women and in playing a role to stop it. Statistics contained in the report show the highest-risk period was in the months immediately after a woman's final report to police.Beyond a year was when 42 per cent of the women and children took their lives."At the moment, we kind of end that path to safety just too soon, and we should be thinking about that two-years post separation.

‘In total, 410 people died by suicide in WA in 2017. Among them were 124 women and children’ ……. And the 286 men 🤷♂️
Why do feminist writers and researchers only tell the story they want you to believe?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy Family violence is not a predictor of suicide. Almost no one who experiences family violence self harms let alone suicides. There needs to be a link which can be tested in a ethical way. Best not dramatised what is already a terrible event.
