A 15-year-old girl committed suicide on the morning of June 7, 2016, by throwing herself off the fifth floor of a residential building in Shahrak Baharan, Sanandaj.
Passers-by called the Fire Station, Emergency, and the State Security Force when they saw the girl on the fifth floor, but she jumped off before the arrival of the forces.
The number of students committing suicide in recent months has reached a worrying 19.

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
