KHRP’s extensive European Parliament- commissioned report, The Increase in Kurdish Women Committing Suicide, has been published on the European Parliament’s website. The report, based on a combination of desk research and fact-finding missions to the regions, gives a snapshot of the situation of women in the Kurdish regions and discusses the possible reasons for the comparatively high female suicide rate there, linking this to conflict, widowhood, education, health and patriarchal society. The report can be accessed by clicking the above hyperlink. For a French language version please click here.
