Suicide among young women of South Asian origin

Papp, Aruna. (Author). Frontier Centre for Public Policy (Added Author).

Summary: The objective of this paper is threefold: illuminate the strong correlation between cultural imperatives and elevated suicide statistics among young South Asian women in Canada; shed light on persisting practices within South Asian culture that are quite retrograde and even barbaric in nature; and establish a benchmark for direction to further research, program, and policy development that will fully enfranchise young South Asian women as Canadians.
