We do not know the suicide rate with certainty, but relief workers estimate that the suicide rate among women has increased significantly. Homes where a woman is present must have their windows painted so that outsiders can never see her. They must wear silent shoes so that they are never heard. There are almost no medical facilities available for women, and relief workers, in protest, have mostly left the country, taking medicine and psychologists and other things necessary to treat the sky-rocketing level of depression among women.
