Synopsis

In December 2021, a female victim's body was discovered and disposed of in a public street in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Her name was Dekan. Dekan’s corpse was never claimed by family or friends and remained in the morgue for several months. Dekan’s fate like many other female victims ended in the unmarked section of the graveyard, which is often designated for female victims of "honor killings."
