Noushin Mortazavi/Nazanin
Age: 17
suffocated: July 15, 2023
Residence: Qaemiyeh, Fars
Origin: Iran
Children: None
Perpetrator: Uncle
Excuse: family dispute
In a tragic incident in Qaemiyeh, Fars province, western Iran, 17-year-old Noushin Mortazavi, also known as Nazanin, was brutally murdered by her 41-year-old uncle on July 15, 2023. The perpetrator, a military man, suffocated Noushin and mutilated her face in an attempt to hinder identification. Subsequently, he buried her in the Qaemiyeh area.
The precise motive behind this heinous act remains unknown. Speculation suggests that a family dispute may have played a role. Law enforcement promptly arrested the uncle in connection with the crime.
Described as a young woman with aspirations of becoming a doctor, Nazanin's life was tragically cut short.

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.
