Women are increasingly using guns to die by suicide in the United States, which challenges the long-held assumption that they typically choose less lethal means.
In 2020, gun-related suicides surpassed poisoning and suffocation for women for the first time, indicating a concerning trend that continues to rise.
Rosie Bauder emphasized that focusing only on the traditional profile of gun owners misses a crucial segment: women who are dying by suicide.
Experts acknowledge various factors behind this shift, with easy access to firearms being a significant contributor to the increasing rates of suicide among women.
