Percentages also don't mean anything without a solid base figure to work from and both figures have to work from the same base.
They could easily argue 20% rise because an additional 1 in 5 women are committing suicide, compare to a mere 3 in 100 men.
In reality 3x as many men is the increase, but the percentages are switched because the base numbers are off.
