Su***de is a cry for help, not a criminal act. Decriminalising attemped su***de in Malawi is a very important step toward mental health justice and destigmatization.

21/09/2025

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 su***de is still criminalized. We at Ukuthula believe in order to destigmatize mental health attempted su***de must be decriminalized, with rising su***de cases in Malawi all efforts must be made towards quality and accessible mental health care and the destigmatization of mental health so people are able to seek the help they need. 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 su***de attempt should not be criminal.” ***depreventionmonth
