Three suicides near the energy capital of Iran

Three suicides near the energy capital of Iran

Dr. Abedin Abedizadeh
The suicide of an 11-year-old child and two teenagers aged 16 and 21 in three neighboring cities, that is; Bandar Deir, Bandar Kangan and Jam, also in the vicinity of South Pars, the energy capital and the world’s largest gas field in the Persian Gulf in less than two weeks, show the destruction and suffering of a family, the inefficiency of the country’s economic structure, the weakening of social justice, and the outlook The future is uncertain. It represents a society that despite having the highest tourism capacities, strategic location, high economic and cultural potential is always pregnant with poverty.

The order of childhood and the mental and objective world of children and adolescents in southern Iran is disordered and separated; are full of unanswered questions; I say this as a southerner, someone whose childhood was full of the lived experience of poverty in the south and every cell of my body is intertwined and familiar with the fabric of poverty. Today, many years have passed since my childhood and I teach sociology in Tehran universities. I am still looking for answers to the same pains and questions of my childhood, questions that were full of the voice of poverty and injustice and always slowed down my dreams or took them away from me. Is a child who keeps his mental world involved in basic needs, expensiveness, dollar swing, father’s helplessness, mother’s grief, homelessness and so on. Do you think there is anything left of him and his childhood? He’s done! Just like 11-year-old Muhammad, he finished his entire existence.

When a person commits suicide in a geographic environment, it cannot be considered a social problem, but as soon as the number of statistics increases, a social crisis is forming in this situation, so the suicide of children and teenagers for any reason If it happened in Bushehr province, it represents a loud alarm that should be heard well. This type of suicide in Bushehr province is rooted in social issues; From the point of view of Horton and Leslie, the three features of generality, the necessity of solving the problem, and the importance of the individual or organization in solving the problem are important points of the social problem. They consider the two social issues to be unpleasant for a significant part of the society at first; Second, they believe that something should be done to solve it, and finally, they believe that a person or organization or people are responsible for solving the social problem. Therefore, social issues are problems that are related to the outcome of society, and it is necessary for the relevant institutions, especially the Ministry of Oil, to act responsibly for the environmental, social, economic and cultural damage that has been caused to the geography of the south.

Although I am not aware of the questions in the minds of Mohammad and two dear ones who have lost Bushehri, but I consider poverty to be at least one of the reasons. What is the social responsibility of the Ministry of Oil and South Pars for the deprivation of Bushehr province? A province that provides the economy of the country, but still fails to provide the economy and employment of the youth of Bushehr, and with so many financial and monetary transactions in this province, Bushehr province is always associated with the ugly word of deprivation! Do you know that Kangan port, despite the large volume of oil and gas industry, is still associated with a serious problem of drinking and non-drinking water! Border residents are as much Iranian as central residents. All these suicides happened in Mehr month, the month of the beginning of education and training, and on the other hand, October 17; 25 Mehr is the International Day for the Eradication and Fight against Poverty. This year, with the cooperation and focus of the United Nations, UNICEF and UNESCO on ending child poverty, with the slogan “To end poverty, empower children, their families and communities, let’s work together”; Hoping for the awakening of us and the world and the realization of the beautiful dream of children!
