In “Afghan women who turn to immolation”, BBC News reports about Afghan’s woman that has higher rate of self-immolation in Herat province. Due to a combination of poverty, illiteracy, domestic violence and lack of freedoms, they run away these problems by self-immolation. Most of the women are around 20 years old or just married. In Shanas’s case, she set herself on fire because she was unhappy about her engagement during that period. In another case, Anargol who is 20 years old cannot stand under pressure from their husbands or the mothers-in-law so she tries to commit self-immolation many times. These are the example and also be the main reason why most women have died from their injuries.
If you were these woman, you will commit self-immolation or not?Why?why not?
