Was a statistic added for women in the video?

No there weren't but they think that the make statistics were just an example as shortly after that "however these people could be anybody" "they could be somebody's mother" "they could be somebody's loved one" or "they could be somebodies" it's not really written correctly but gets the point across

It wouldn't have hurt to put a statistic about women though, they're not hard to find and women are more statistically likely to have mental health problems, men are just more statistically likely to commit:

In England in 2014, one in six adults had a common mental health problem: about one in five women and one in eight men. From 2000 to 2014, rates of common mental health problems in England steadily increased in women and remained largely stable in men.

In 2018, there were 6,507 suicides registered in the UK2, and in 2019, there were 5,691 suicides registered in England and Wales:

Of these, three-quarters were among men, which has been the case since the mid-1990s

Three times as many men as women die by suicide

Men aged 40 to 49 have the highest suicide rates in the UK.5

Those were from the first result on my search

I see nothing wrong. He's asking what the rate for women is. You're making a big deal out of nothing.
