SS: Iran executed at least 31 women in 2024, the highest annual number in 17 years, according to Iran Human Rights (IHR). Many of these women were convicted of murder after acting in self-defense against domestic violence, rape, or coercive control, highlighting systemic gender inequality in Iran’s judicial system. Women’s testimonies are devalued, laws ignore domestic violence, and executions often target marginalized minorities. The Islamic Republic uses executions, which have surged to 930 in 2024, to suppress dissent and instill fear, emphasizing the need for urgent international action against its extreme violence and gender apartheid.
