Based on the WHO likely attempted suicide rate.
As a calculation of population size against suicide rate
Trinidad and Tobago, officially known as the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, is located in the southern Caribbean Sea. These two beautiful islands offer a rich cultural tapestry with influences from African, Indian, European, and Indigenous traditions. Calypso music, known for lively tunes, comes alive during carnival, a colourful and spirited celebration with elaborate costumes and vibrant parades.
Christianity is the largest religious community with a lively mix of Evangelical, Baptist and Roman Catholic denominations and vibrant Hindu and Muslim communities. These major faiths intermingle with traditional Caribbean spirituality and indigenous beliefs, creating a unique religious landscape.
The legal system in Trinidad and Tobago is Common Law. Like many nations with colonial histories, Trinidad and Tobago inherited laws from the British colonial era. There have been arrests for attempted suicide recorded in Trinidad and Tobago in recent years, and legal opinion suggests the offence remains in existence.
The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates for the decriminalisation of suicide and suicide attempts. Finding out more and removing such laws removes stigma and allows avenues for providing appropriate mental health support to individuals in crisis.
Criminalising suicide punishes distress. Decriminalising suicide saves lives.
