RASC News Agency: A recent announcement by the Taliban security commander in Faryab reveals the tragic suicide of an 18-year-old woman in the Khan Chahar Bagh district of the province. The young woman, who was married, took her own life by hanging herself in her father’s house in the Arab Shah village on Sunday, October 8, at approximately 9:00 a.m.
The security commander attributes the cause of her suicide to “family conflicts,” whilst another woman in Balkh province also recently ended her life by consuming poison.
It is essential to highlight that the number of female suicides in Afghanistan has increased during the two years of Taliban rule, with poverty and family violence recognized as primary factors contributing to these tragic incidents.
The restrictive regulations and constraints imposed by the Taliban have posed significant obstacles to the lives of women, confining them within the confines of their own homes. This oppressive environment has created numerous challenges, resulting in a prevailing sense of despair among women.
Not only did the Taliban’s stringent policies curtail women’s freedom of movement and expression, but they also hindered their access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Consequently, women carried a profound psychological burden as a result of their subjugation within the Taliban-controlled domestic sphere.
As a consequence, the imposition of limitations on women’s lives has led to a rise in familial conflicts, as supported by statistical data.
