I suggest that you take other factors into consideration. Have you considered that these girls and young women had ANOTHER reason for their killing themselves? I HIGHLY doubt it was because they were 'not allowed to work'. THINK. They VERY likely had OTHER reasons for this, which would cause their emotional stability to be disturbed. THINK about the PROBABLE familial problems that have NOTHING to do with 'working'. If they want to promote in the media the issue of oppression in the country, at least focus on ALL factors, and don't ASSUME that this was their reason. I do not live in a vacuum, and am fully cognizant of the OVER-ALL oppression in Iran (not just towards WOMEN). But, that does not mean that I am not going to analyze ALL reports for their relative degree of credibility in part or in whole, because you cannot ASSUME that, because a particular piece of 'news' says what you WANT to hear, it IS truthful (in its entirety), while DISMISSING other pieces of news that do not "FIT" what you DESIRE to hear or see. Know what i mean?

"I HIGHLY doubt it was because they were 'not allowed to work'."

They were essentially being told "you may have no life other than being a housewife." This would be far from the first time someone has died for the cause of freedom.
