<P0-S0> According to recent estimates, 50% of the population adheres to Christianity, Islam 48%, while 2% of the population follows other religions including traditional African religion and animism. <P0-S1> According to a study made by Pew Research Center, 63% adheres to Christianity and 36% adheres to Islam. <P0-S2> Since May 2002, the government of Eritrea has officially recognized the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (Oriental Orthodox), Sunni Islam, the Eritrean Catholic Church (a Metropolitanate sui juris) and the Evangelical Lutheran church. <P0-S3> All other faiths and denominations are required to undergo a registration process. <P0-S4> Among other things, the government's registration system requires religious groups to submit personal information on their membership to be allowed to worship. <SEP> <P1-S0> Islam is the most widely practised religion in Southeast Asia, numbering approximately 240 million adherents which translate to about 40% of the entire population, with majorities in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia and in Southern Philippines with Indonesia as the largest and most populated Muslim country around the world. <P1-S1> Countries in Southeast Asia practice many different religions. <P1-S2> Buddhism is predominant in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Vietnam and Singapore. <P1-S3> Ancestor worship and Confucianism are also widely practised in Vietnam and Singapore. <P1-S4> Christianity is predominant in the Philippines, eastern Indonesia, East Malaysia and East Timor. <P1-S5> The Philippines has the largest Roman Catholic population in Asia. <P1-S6> East Timor is also predominantly Roman Catholic due to a history of Portuguese rule. <SEP> <P2-S0> In many countries the rate of suicide is highest in the middle-aged or elderly. <P2-S1> The absolute number of suicides however is greatest in those between 15 and 29 years old, due to the number of people in this age group. <P2-S2> Worldwide, the average age of suicide is between age 30 and 49 for both men and women. <P2-S3> This means that half of people who died by suicide were approximately age 40 or younger, and half were older.In the United States the suicide death rate is greatest in Caucasian men older than 80 years, even though younger people more frequently attempt suicide. <P2-S4> It is the second most common cause of death in adolescents and in young males is second only to accidental death. <P2-S5> In young males in the developed world, it is the cause of nearly 30% of mortality. <P2-S6> In the developing world rates are similar, but it makes up a smaller proportion of overall deaths due to higher rates of death from other types of trauma. <P2-S7> In South-East Asia, in contrast to other areas of the world, deaths from suicide occur at a greater rate in young females than elderly females. <SEP> <P3-S0> in an attempt at reform, eritrean government officials and ngo representatives have participated in numerous public meetings and dialogues. <P3-S1> in these sessions they have answered questions as fundamental as, "what are human rights? <P3-S2> ", "who determines what are human rights? <P3-S3> ", and "what should take precedence, human or communal rights?" <P3-S4> in 2007, the eritrean government also banned female genital mutilation. <P3-S5> in regional assemblies and religious circles, eritreans themselves speak out continuously against the use of female circumcision. <P3-S6> they cite health concerns and individual freedom as being of primary concern when they say this. <P3-S7> furthermore, they implore rural peoples to cast away this ancient cultural practice. <P3-S8> additionally, a new movement called citizens for democratic rights in eritrea aimed at bringing about dialogue between the government and opposition was formed in early 2009. the group consists of ordinary citizens and some people close to the government. <SEP> <P4-S0> globally as of 2012, death by suicide occurs about 1.8 times more often in males than females. <P4-S1> in the western world, males die three to four times more often by means of suicide than do females. <P4-S2> this difference is even more pronounced in those over the age of 65, with tenfold more males than females dying by suicide. <P4-S3> suicide attempts and self-harm are between two and four times more frequent among females. <P4-S4> researchers have attributed the difference between attempted and completed suicides among the sexes to males using more lethal means to end their lives. <P4-S5> however, separating intentional suicide attempts from non-suicidal self-harm is not currently done in the united states when gathering statistics at the national level.china has one of the highest female suicide rates in the world and is the only country where it is higher than that of men (ratio of 0.9). <P4-S6> in the eastern mediterranean, suicide rates are nearly equivalent between males and females. <P4-S7> the highest rate of female suicide is found in south korea at 22 per 100,000, with high rates in south-east asia and the western pacific generally.a number of reviews have found an increased risk of suicide among transgender, lesbian, gay, and bisexual people. <P4-S8> among transgender persons rates of attempted suicide are about 40% compared to a general population rate of 5%. <P4-S9> this is believed to in part be due to  social stigmatisation.
