Chinese women
In China, one woman kills herself every year. Some women commit suicide impulsively. A husband and wife may conflict.
Marriage is arranged by parents and it is like a business, buying and selling a product.
Studies agree that many of the women who attempt suicide each year are attempting to gain some dignity - to bring home to others their sense of anger and frustration. Besides traditional attitudes, modern trends also seem set to place China's women under increasing pressure. In rural areas where social security is weak, women will face an even more terrible future in 20 years time. Abduction and trafficking of women will increase. So will prostitution, as well as sexual violence against women and rape. There are vocational courses on cooking, hairdressing and computing, as well as classes on marriage laws, suicide prevention and gender awareness. Since opening in 1998, 4,000 trainees have passed through its doors, typically going on to work as restaurant cashiers or factory clerks.
The move to the city is not without risk. Many young women have been sexually abused by their bosses, and working conditions are often abysmal.
Main Idea
Many women suicide in China because of traditional attitudes, husbands, sense of anger and frustration.
Comment
The government should realizes the extent of the problems that is facing the Chinese women and find some solution for it. In my opinion the government should change the rules about the marriage.
