On November 30, 2023, a 17-year-old Afghan girl named Zeynab was killed by her 22-year-old fiancé on one of the streets in Mashhad while returning home. The suspect allegedly fatally stabbed the 17-year-old girl with a knife, inflicting 20 wounds in public view.

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.
