"Beyond Shattered Honor" is an art project that explores the issue of honor killings in Iran, shedding light on the complex web of gender-based violence, early marriages and deeply ingrained societal standards. These brutal killings stem from the belief that an individual's actions can bring shame to their family. This leads to women's deaths accused of dishonoring their families. Reasons behind these acts range from rejecting marriage proposals and being in frowned upon relationships to seeking divorce and facing allegations of misconduct.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
