A 12-year-old girl from Kamyaran, Iranian Kurdistan, took her own life on Saturday, July 30, 2016, under pressure from her family to get married.

Mahasti Assadi was under pressure from her grandmother to get married with a 25-year-old man who is mentally and physically disabled. After the death of her father and marriage of her mother, Mahasti was living with her grandmother.

She used her grandmother’s veil to hang herself from gas pipes. She passed away on the morning of Monday, August 1, in a hospital in Sanandaj.

ABOUT US

NCRI Women Committee

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.
