A woman committed suicide by taking drugs in Daikandi

Officials in Daikundi Police Command say that a 35-year-old woman committed suicide by consuming drugs in Kajran district of this province. Gholam Ali Javed, the spokesperson of Daikandi police, told Goharshad media today (Tuesday, 16th of Joza) that this woman committed suicide due to excessive consumption of drugs in Manareh village of Kajran district. Mr. Javid emphasized that this 35-year-old woman’s name is “NSBB” and she committed suicide yesterday. He said that Ansabi had committed suicide by using drugs before, but was saved by the intervention of her family. He adds that this woman left three children. According to the Daikendi police spokesperson, the cause of this woman’s suicide is family violence. This is despite the fact that the number of suicides has recently increased throughout Afghanistan, especially in Daikundi, Bamyan and Badakhshan provinces. Mental illnesses, family violence and mental pressure caused by poverty and unemployment are the main causes of suicides. Also, with the dominance of the caretaker government in Afghanistan, the majority of institutions supporting women’s rights have stopped. As in the past, women in Afghanistan can no longer complain about violence against them by referring to judicial institutions, and such violence remains stable and increases.
