“Blood in Silence: Femicide in Iran; Roots, Patterns, and Ways Forward” by Sara Alasvandi Sheikhi is a work in the field of social and women’s studies that examines the phenomenon of femicide in Iran and the factors contributing to its emergence and persistence.

Through an analytical approach, the book does not view femicide merely as a collection of individual acts of violence; rather, it seeks to explore the social, cultural, and structural roots and patterns that shape and sustain this phenomenon. The subtitle of the work highlights the three main areas of investigation: understanding the roots of femicide, examining its recurring patterns, and exploring possible approaches for prevention and breaking the cycle of violence.

Focusing on Iranian society, “Blood in Silence” is a significant work for readers and researchers interested in sociology, women’s and gender studies, social issues, and violence against women. The book draws attention to one of the most severe forms of gender-based violence and emphasizes the importance of understanding its causes and developing strategies for prevention.
