"Atousa Jafari," a 27-year-old woman from Sanandaj, was murdered on Sunday, September 1, 1405, in front of her family home with knife wounds.

Local media and the Kurdistan Human Rights Network have reported that Atousa Jafari was attacked while leaving her house and before getting into her car to go to work, and she was killed with multiple knife stabs.

According to these reports, the perpetrator of the murder was Atousa Jafari's husband or ex-husband. Local sources have reported that she was killed with eight knife wounds.

There are differing accounts regarding Atousa Jafari's marital status at the time of her murder. The Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that she had separated from her husband two years ago and was living with her mother, but local media have stated that Atousa had approached the court several times over the past three years to separate from her husband, and her divorce request was not accepted.

According to local sources, Atousa Jafari had been subjected to violence, beatings, and threats by her husband during this time. On one occasion, as a result of the beatings, her hand was broken.

The Kurdistan Human Rights Network stated that Atousa Jafari was an employee of the post office, held a master's degree in criminal law, and was a coach and referee in the "Kung Fu Toh" discipline.

This is the second reported case of femicide in Kurdistan within a few days. On August 29, 1405, "Latifeh Mohammadzadeh," a 49-year-old woman from Saqqez, was also murdered by her ex-husband with knife wounds on one of the rural roads of this county.
