A woman in Babol was attacked with acid on Wednesday, November 1, according to Harana News Agency. The incident occurred in the Amir Kabir area of Babol. The suspects were arrested by law enforcement forces shortly thereafter. As of the time of this report, the reasons behind this act are not yet known.
Acid, despite having a limited market demand, is easily accessible in Iran, and the absence of comprehensive preventive legislation has allowed the heinous crime of "acid spraying" to persist.

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.
