Honour Killings

A new page, on a sombre topic. When women resist male dominance or the adherence to male norms, in some cultures they are sometimes murdered in the name of family 'honour', a practice almost universally condemned. The UN estimates that 5000 such murders occur annually. "Honour Killings" by Vexen Crabtree

Violence (Honour Killings) Against Women in Pakistan

An awful new page - "Violence Against Women in Pakistan". Well over 1,000 women each year are murdered in honour killings in Pakistan; usually by their relatives for not adhering to strict conservative modes of fashion, life, love or conduct; avoiding forced marriages is common cause for a father to murder his daughter (or get a younger brother to do it, who therefore only services a short sentance as a minor). These problems are especially bad in rural communities, where a combination of poor education, weak government reach and male-dominated strict Islam mean women have no protections.
