Shahla Karimiani, a 38-year-old woman from Mahabad, was murdered by her husband and his brother after returning to live with her ex-husband to care for their children.
She had previously divorced him due to domestic violence and his second marriage, supporting herself by working in orchards and farms.
Before her death, Shahla had repeatedly reported receiving death threats from her brother-in-law.
After remarrying her ex-husband, her family lost contact with her, and the perpetrators pretended she had gone to the Kurdistan Region.
Her body was discovered 15 days later in a cemetery near Mahabad. Both the husband and his brother confessed to the murder and remain in custody.

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.
