S.G.
Age: 17
Suicide: September 24, 2024
Residence: Iranshahr, Sistan and Baluchestan
Excuse: obstruction forced marriage
On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, a 17-year-old girl, a victim of child marriage who set herself on fire eight days earlier in Iranshahr, succumbed to her injuries at a medical center in Sistan and Baluchestan province. This child marriage victim, identified as "S.G." had been forced into marriage under family pressure two weeks prior. Due to ongoing family pressures, she attempted self-immolation. She had previously warned her family that she would take such action if the forced marriage continued, but her warning was not taken seriously. A year earlier, she had been coerced by her family into an engagement with her cousin.

We are pleased to announce the release of our 2024 report, titled "Stop Violence Against Women and Girls." This report sheds light on the harrowing reality of femicide in Iran, where approximately one woman is killed every other day simply for being a woman.
StopFemicideIran's mission is to combat femicide in Iran through a three-prong approach: documentation, education, and empowerment. SFI monitors and documents femicide cases, educates the public and human rights activists, and empowers grassroots organizations to advocate for women's rights. SFI also aims to raise awareness and advocate for policy reforms to prevent and respond to femicides in Iran.
