The small country with the world's highest suicide rate - BBC Africa

Lesotho, a small nation in Southern Africa, is know as the "kingdom in the sky", for its high altitutde and natural beauty. It is also at the peak of a grim statistic: a suicide rate ten times the global average - that's nine suicides per 100,000 people. The country with a population of 2,3 million has only one psychiatric unit. The reasons for the tragic tally vary, ranging from unemployment to sexual violence. A local NGO, @helplesotho, is trying to change the game by holding therapy sessions in several locations. 🎤 : André Lombard 🎥 : Chris Parkinson 🎞️ : Marina Daras Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
