Description
The Suicide Forum
Book Summary
This work transcends the chronicle of a tribunal that judges the motives of those who wish to end their lives, becoming a plea for female freedom. The reader will enter a narrative where the authorization for suicide depends on whether the applicant is a victim of loneliness, abandonment, or violence, discovering that the majority of these victims are women. Through this unique tribunal, the narrative evolves into a reflection on the struggle for rights denied for centuries, offering a critical perspective on the subjugation and lack of freedom that still persist.
What is it about?
The story focuses on an exceptional tribunal whose function is to evaluate the reasons of those who wish to commit suicide to decide whether or not to authorize their final decision. The verdict depends on whether the applicant is considered a victim of extreme circumstances such as loneliness, abandonment, harassment, rape, abuse, or failure, without support to overcome their despair. When examining the cases, the tribunal discovers that the majority of these victims are women. Added to their suffering are a lack of freedom, subjugation, fear, a lack of rights, the absence of economic resources, and objectification, being viewed more as trophies than as human beings. This finding transforms the nature of the tribunal, which attempts to transition from a mere judge of motives to an entity of justice that denounces historical female oppression.
