A Sociological Study of the Causes and Consequences of Female Suicide Under the Taliban Regime

A lot of women and girls in Afghanistan have suicided themselves since the Taliban took over in August 2021. This is causing widespread upset among people worldwide. Because of the censorship, suicide in Afghanistan has long been underreported; nevertheless, current data from hospitals, media, and monitoring organizations indicate that women constitute the majority of recorded suicides in specific regions. This study examines the political, cultural, and structural factors affecting women's suicides during Taliban rule from a sociological perspective. It looks at news headlines, UN statistics, reports from government agencies, and social media to find patterns and their causes. The denial of rights, forced marriages, assault, imprisonment, domestic abuse, economic collapse, and the disintegration of protective services were acknowledged as significant factors contributing to women's suicidal ideation. We look at these results through the lenses of anomie, gender inequality, and systemic violence. To solve the problem, international organizations, NGOs, and members of parliament should work together to provide women with more rights, access to education and justice, and delve into the social and political causes of suicide.
