Reports from local Taliban officials reveal a heart-wrenching incident of an 18-year-old girl taking her own life in Faryab Province.
Esmatullah Moradi, the Taliban spokesperson in Faryab, disclosed that the young girl, identified as Firoza, was found hanging in her residence in the village of “Alti Bulak” within the Qaramqol district on the night of Saturday, March 23rd, bringing a tragic end to her life.
While the Taliban attribute Firoza’s suicide to “psychological illness,” residents of the area assert that the underlying cause was domestic violence, casting a somber shadow over the circumstances leading to her untimely demise.
This sorrowful event underscores a concerning trend in Faryab Province, where over the past eighteen months, suicide rates among women have surged to unprecedented levels.
According to the findings of the Hasht-e Subh Daily, within just three days, two more women have tragically taken their own lives in this region.
