Unnamed Women
Age: 21
Stabbed to death: December 10, 2023
Residence: Tehran
Origin: Iran
Children: None
Perpetrator: Father (51)
Excuse: ‘Honor’
A 51-year-old man in Tehran killed his 21-year-old daughter because she intended to live alone and independently. Motivated by alleged honor concerns, he confessed to the crime and turned himself in to the nearby police station after the act.
The suspect revealed that his daughter had previously entered into a marriage contract with another man, and due to conflicts, they separated. Eventually, she began a single life eight months ago, a decision vehemently opposed by the father due to societal judgment and fears.

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.
