Nomos

Edited by Mansoureh Shojaei and Maryam Foumani

The book confronts the persistent reality of so-called “honour killings” in Iran and the wider region. Bringing together investigative essays, interviews, legal analysis, and testimonies from Kurdish, Arab, Baluch, and other communities, the volume exposes how law, religion, patriarchy, and media indifference collude in the killing of women. It also documents local resistance and feminist activism, arguing that naming these crimes is the first step toward ending them.
