A heart-breaking speech by Jessie Joe Jacobs is going viral on social media after she highlighted the highest rate of suicide among young women ever.

The former youth worker told the story of a young girl who was distressed, crying and walking into the sea in a passionate speech delivered to the Labour Party Conference yesterday.

Her intervention prevented a potential suicide, but as Jacobs asks, “who would she have talked to if not a stranger on the beach?”

The poignant question comes as suicide rates amongst young women are at their highest point in recorded history.

In Jacobs words: “In ten years the rates have nearly doubled.

“Self-harm and eating disorders are on the rise, and the feeling of not being able to cope is a national and growing trend.

“But meanwhile youth services have been decimated.

“Youth clubs and Sure Start Centres closed down.

“Early interventions all but gone.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
