Suicidal in China


Suicidal is a serious problem which is occurring more frequently nowadays. Especially in china, this is the only country in the world that has the rate of women suicidal more than men’s.
This problem is occurring more often in rural areas where suicide rate can reach up to triple times higher than suicide rate in cities. Poison is ready found within plants and pesticides in agricultural areas, which make it one of the main reasons why women commit suicide more here. Said Xu Rong (head of the suicide prevention project). What leads rural women to commit suicide is the arranged mirage which is more like business to the groom’s family. That leads to emotional problems which lead to arguments then to violence and end up with a suicide. They do that as an another way of asking for a better treatment. Beside that modern trend is placing pressure under china’s women.
There is an organization which is trying to stop suicide attempts by providing women with schools, support groups and vocational courses. Although moving to the cities, that does not mean that women are safe, because they could be sexually abused by their bosses .
