Why female suicide in Afghanistan is so prevalent - BBC News:
Jamila is 18 - and her family arranged her engagement when she was just 12. She was taken to a hospital in Herat by her mother and treated for poisoning last month.
Jamila is one of thousands of Afghan women who try to kill themselves every year.
About 3,000 Afghans attempt to take their own lives every year, according to the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC). Herat province accounts for more than half of all cases nationwide.
