Abstract:
Suicide is among problems whose impacts are reflected on society in general. Losing some individuals through committing suicide generates negative outcomes that affect the social structure and hinder the society's progress. This led researchers to exert efforts to study this problem in order to shed light on the most prominent reasons behind the rise of such a problem. Iraqi society nowadays witnesses increasing number of women who commit suicide in many areas with varying percentage; however there is no registered statistics about suicide in the official institutions.The present study aims at shedding light on some suicide acts by women in Al - Sadr City, in order to find out the social, economic and psychological factors behind women committing suicide, and to find out the most age groups of women who commit suicide, through finding out means of suicide and answering the following questions : 1 - Is there suicide acts among women in the study area, and to what extent this phenomenon is spread?2 - Is there a relationship between social factors and committing suicide by women in accordance with the variables : social state, level of education and the nature of residency?3 - Does the nature of tribal education in Sadr City have a role in the rise of the suicide phenomenon?To achieve these aim, the research demanded meetings with the families of the victims and with women who tried failed attempts of suicide, depending on the prospect of the present study, reviewing past studies to find out what others concluded and define suicide through social and psychological perspectives.The study sample was deliberately chosen. The number of suicide attempts was 30 cases 20 of which lled to death the other ten where failed attempts and the victims survived.Among the most prominent outcomes of the study is that most of the women who committed suicide had only primary education. Most of them were married; which reflects the relations with their husbands and the effect of the surrounding social environment, given that most married women lived with their in - laws. This state generates an atmosphere of wrangle, struggle and psychological pressures which led some women to think about committing suicide.The outcomes of the study affirmed the domination of tribal norms within the study area, the matter that reflects the weakness of law, represented by policemen and forensic investigators whose role was just to write down some simple reports that do not shed light on the real reasons that led women to commit suicide, particularly when we find out that most suicide attempts, even those which led to death, are not registered so in official institutions, but instead as ( burns, toxic , or predetermined ). The medic stuff submits to the will of the families not to mention the suicide act.In the light of the outcomes, the study suggests some recommendations among which are : the need to raise the families' awareness of containing women, listening to them and taking care of them when they face problems, whether they were married on not. This will led them to depend on their families and forget the idea of committing suicide.Among recommendations, also, is to activate the role of the law by investigating suicide acts thoroughly in order to find out the real reasons that led women to commit suicide, instead of registering what victims' families wish to be written and keeping silent towards such cases in the research area.
