“…The recent over-ruling of the Roe vs. Wade decision, which has guaranteed women's reproductive rights in the U.S. since 1973, illustrates the real threat to gender equality under the current global wave of ultraconservative populism (Graff & Korolczuk, 2021;Juhasz, 2018). Gender backlash and discrimination is costly for women (Mills et al, 2020;Milner et al, 2020), who may experience vicarious distress from gender discrimination even when its cues are subtle and indirect (McCarty et al, 2022). The role of women's gender identification in experiencing distress at the exclusion of other women is still unclear.…”

Three experiments (two pre-registered) tested whether gender collective narcissism (i.e., a belief that one’s gender ingroup’s exceptionality is not sufficiently recognized by others) predicts parochial vicarious ostracism (i.e., feeling ostracized and distressed while recognizing the gender ingroup’s exclusion, but not when recognizing the exclusion of the gender outgroup). In all studies (overall N = 1480), gender collective narcissism was positively associated with distress among women who witnessed the exclusion of women, but not among men who witnessed the exclusion of women. In Study 3, gender collective narcissism was positively associated with distress among men who witnessed the exclusion of men, but not among women who witnessed the exclusion of men. These findings help explain why men do not universally feel distressed by the discrimination of women and why some women may mobilize to challenge gender discrimination.

Suicide is an imperative public health problem that needs social as well as medical attention. In India, 134516 people committed suicide in 2018 and also there is an increase in the number of suicide cases in Uttarakhand as well. The aim was to analyse the trend of suicidal deaths autopsied at our center concerning different parameters like age, gender, method of suicide, reason for suicide, to know the demographic pattern and its cause. The autopsy reports and inquest papers of suicidal cases autopsied at AIIMS Rishikesh were included for evaluation. Out of total 19.49% of total autopsies were of suicidal deaths. Majority of the victims were males (76.42%) compared to females (22.76%). The average age of victims was 35 years and 76.4% belonged to the age group 14 to 43 years. The risk of suicide was more prevalent in urban population. Among the total victims, 39.83% were in jobs. Regarding the reason behind suicide, family dispute was most common. The most common mode of suicide was hanging followed by poisoning and drowning. Organophosphates was the most repeated poison consumed in suicides by poisoning. About 75% cases were complete suicides and couldn't receive medical care. Majority of the cases belonged to Rishikesh police station. The important aspects of suicides among young generation is peer pressure which can be from family, institutional, or work etc. An effective strategy needs to be devised to combat the issue.
