November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. In Iran, women and girls are annually subjected to violence, including murder, acid attacks, and torture, by family members and the government of the Islamic Republic. According to collected statistics, from November 1, 2022, to November 25, 2023, at least 178 women in various cities have been murdered by family members for reasons related to honor or family disputes. Moreover, many women in Iran were killed by the government during the protests against the government's killings, such as the case of Mahsa Amini. This violence against women persists in Iran and is on the rise. The murder of Armita Geravand is another example of suppression and violence against women and girls in Iran.

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.
