StopFemicideIran (SFI), an initiative focused on monitoring femicides in Iran is releasing its annual report, the 2023 Report of Femicides in Iran. In addition, SFI is releasing a mid-year report on the 2024 acts of femicide. These studies track and analyze femicide in Iran, a crime internationally recognized as one of the most terrifying and neglected phenomenons – the intentional murder of women and girls. Through its interactive map, StopFemicideIran allows users access to open data research from the past four years through the present.

Femicides have ended the lives of girls and women from all walks of life. They have touched families in urban and rural areas and all levels of socio-economic status. This report underscores the need for increased awareness, advocacy, and action to address the root causes of femicide and protect women from such atrocities.

“We must collectively condemn and combat the alarming rates of femicide in Iran and strive for greater protection of women's human rights.” Said Marjan Keypour, the founder of SFI and longtime human rights activist. “It's imperative that we stand together to raise awareness, advocate for justice, and ultimately end the cycle of violence against women and girls. Every life lost to femicide is a tragedy that must not go unnoticed or unaddressed. We must dismantle harmful cultural norms and patriarchal systems that perpetuate such violence, and create a society where all women can live free from fear.”
