Women were reported murdered in at least 94 headlines published in the news from March 21, 2015 until March 19, 2016 (the past Iranian year 1394).
While reporting this figure, the state-run Khabar Online wrote, “It could not be easily figured out, however, how many of these murders were honor killings since the reasons were stated as “(illicit) relationship”, “suspicion”, and “protecting one’s honor”.
According to Khabar Online, more than 97 percent of the victims of all the murders reported by the press and media were women.
