Unnamed Woman
Age: middle-aged
Shot dead: Jan. 5, 2024
Residence: Tehran
Origin: Iran
Children: 3
Perpetrator: son
Excuse: ‘honor’
A middle-aged woman was shot dead by her son in Tehran. After the arrest, the young man confessed to murdering his mother and another man at their home in Tehran, labeling his motive for this act as an 'honor killing.'
He wrote, 'I killed them because they had betrayed my father.' His mother was 32 years younger than his father, had three children, and despite her request for a divorce, the father had not agreed to accept his wife's request. Considering their age difference, the possibility of her being a child bride cannot be ruled out.

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.
