While the deaths are not directly linked, all of the deceased were young people who had affirmed or were affirming their identity as female, had a history of mental health issues and had at least one mental health diagnosis. Victorian state reporter Adeshola Ore speaks to Jane Lee about what the inquest heard and why there are calls for system-wide reform.
