A woman reportedly shot herself dead in the Kechi Beg Sariyab area of
the city Quetta, according to sources. The dead body of the deceased has
been shifted to the hospital for further investigation.
The motive behind the suicide remains unclear.
It
should be noted that not only men but also the reports of the suicide
rates of women are on the rise in Balochistan. A similar incident took
place in January 2023, where a woman committed suicide in the Tump
Sirankan area of the Kech district.
According to the data
collected by The Balochistan Post (TBP), a dozen people have reportedly
committed suicide during the four months of this year. Most of the cases
were reported from the Kech district. Several other cases were reported
from Panjgur, Gwadar, Hub Chowki, and Dera Bugti regions of
Balochistan.
Women in Balochistan attempt suicide due to a
combination of reasons such as depression from enforced disappearances,
denial of basic rights, and societal and familial pressures. Suicide
rates, particularly among, have seen a significant spike in the past few
months. But despite the increasing suicide incidents throughout
Balochistan, the government has not taken any steps to prevent them.
