Suicide on the rise in Pakistan; 1,600 lives lost - Dawn

KARACHI: Sixteen hundred people took their lives during the last 10 months in Pakistan, DawnNews quoted the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) as saying.

The HRCP, moreover, expressed its concern over the increasing trend of suicide and stated that some 800 people had also unsuccessfully attempted to take their own lives.

The commission sighted poverty and hopelessness as the main reasons behind the troubling trend.

The HRCP lamented that the government was least concerned over the issue and urged it to take steps which would restore confidence in the people and help curb the trend.

No it isn't but -in the end these threads always end up - with a massive troll fest where we insult each others poor, what's the point, we get to gloat on some poor peoples misfortune.

That's inaccurate. Suicide attacks & the people killed from it has decreased considerably from previous years.

i bet you didnt read the article.

They are not.. just like poverty is not exclusive to India..

They are not.. just like poverty is not exclusive to India..

Poverty is a major issue exclusive to the Indian sub continent not forgetting sub Saharan states......suicides are not country specific.

Windi I'd let go of that attitude bro, hasn't the time come that we fixed our problems rather than telling others they had 'em too?

It is interesting that the report came out of Karachi. Even not being there I have a distinct feeling the mental state of the people would be extremely tense - you can't step out of the house and earn because you'd e shot at, while you're at work you worry if armed men hadn't entered your house, there's no power most of the time and you know the govt. is doing this on purpose, and you are unable to change things.

I'd touch upon a diagnosis which seems odd in this materialistic world: people haven't been educated in the correct amount of faith. Let's assume most of those people were legally Muslims. Now only if they had internalized the creed of Islam they'd have known that the Muslim navigates through their life basically using two things: rajaa and jihaad, i.e. hope and struggle. You lost hope and as a consequence you give up trying. You're a dead husk of the human existence, you see no use in living anymore.
