Summary of traditions weigh on China's woman

Summary of traditions weigh on China's woman
Christopher Allen wrote this article in June, 2006. He wrote it because he saw that the traditions affecting women in China increase the number of suicides there and there are a lot of statistics which confirmed it. The first reason is easy access to toxins from agricultural areas. The traditional marriages are a big issue and they have become like business deals . Xu says that conflicts between the wives and husbands caused 70-80% of suicides . If women get an unhappy marriage they think to commit suicide because it is difficult to get out of it. Probably after 20 years there will be fewer women in China, around 40 million deficit, because they will face many difficulties in their lives. Xu's organisation mentioned there are projects and attempts to prevent suicide, to find out what is happening to Chinese women and to sensitize them and to teach them skills in various areas of their lives to be able to live . The writer believes that it is better that women go away to work in the city to get the confidence and realize the value of the individual and their capabilities.

Main Idea
The writer wanted to show that rural Chinese women face many problems and difficulties because of the traditions which lead to suicide and there are huge numbers who commit suicide.

My opinion
In my opinion the government must provide for them work in the cities and cancel the tradition of rural marriage and they have to choose themselves the personal freedom for anything .
