15:30Now PlayingThe takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in 2021 has led to a significant surge in female suicides, highlighting the desperation among Afghan women to escape a regime that severely curtails their rights and freedoms. Although global trends show more men than women die by suicide, data from 11 surveyed provinces in Afghanistan, collected privately by health workers and published despite a Taliban ban on sharing up-to-date statistics, reveals that more women than men have died by suicide or have attempted to take their own lives. This alarming trend is attributed to the Taliban's repressive restrictions on women, increased forced and underage marriages, and the loss of freedom and hope. While nearly half of the Afghan population already suffered psychological distress due to the country's long history of poverty and conflict, the situation has become particularly acute for women, as evidenced by the fact that in Herat province, a provincial hospital reported that about 90% of mental health admissions were “breaking down under the weight of the new restrictions,” according to a medic working there. This surge in female suicides has raised concerns among human rights activists and United Nations officials who blame the Taliban's increasing restrictions on women's public life.
