Articles Contained in SIRS Enduring Issues 2006. Originally Published: Suicide As Protest, March 2005; pp. 26-29.
"Suicide is often used in China, especially among women, as a means of protest against an oppressive reality....International statistics on suicide usually show higher rates for males than for females. China is the only country where recorded statistics show a higher suicide rate for women. Many quantitative studies have analyzed the gender disparity in suicides among the Chinese population. Some researchers have examined the issue from a public health angle, while others have looked for sociological or anthropological explanations. This article focuses on factors that may contribute to an apparent 'suicide epidemic' among China's women. It will also examine women's right to health under international human rights standards, and how these standards can be applied to make Chinese women less vulnerable to suicide." (CHINA RIGHTS FORUM)
