There are many more variables that could contribute to these statistics. For example, in more impoverished areas, there is a higher instance of single-mothers. The incentive for women to commit suicide in these areas may be much smaller because they know they need to care for their children. The numbers are astounding and clearly more work needs to be done toward prevention, but it does seem like traditional gender roles are (very) slowly but surely disappearing each generation.
