October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but every woman deserves to feel safe in her own home.

Maryam Yarmohammadi, a 28-year-old mother of two, was reportedly killed by her brother in Qeshm, , with her husband’s alleged involvement in the attack.

Her death highlights the urgent need to address domestic violence and discriminatory laws , where serious legal gaps continue to leave women vulnerable.
