View source for The Global Campaign to Stop Killing and Stoning Women

Some feminist groups assert that stoning is exclusively or predominantly used against women.  As with so many feminist claims, this is untrue.  Iran is offered as proof of the gender-neutrality of stoning.<ref>[[Media:SList_1980_2010.pdf]]</ref>
