On the morning of Saturday, September 7, 2024, Nazanin Balouchi, a 17-year-old from the village of Gohach near Chanf, was killed by her cousin. Nazanin had been a victim of child marriage, forced into marriage at the age of 14. Three weeks after separating from her abusive husband—who had reportedly beaten her multiple times—she was shot twice in the head with a handgun. The motive for the murder was reported as "preserving family honor."

We are pleased to announce the release of our 2025 report, titled "Counted Despite the Darkness: Documentation of Femicide Cases." 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.
