Roundtable on strategies to address 'crimes to honour': summary report

The project was initiated in response to the reports of the murders of Samia Sawar in Pakistan and Rukhsana Naz in the UK in the early 1999 and the explicit articulation of an 'honour'-based defence by the alleged perpetrators in each case. The project is premised on a loose definiton of 'honour crimes' as patterns of conduct cutting across communities, cultures, religions, and nations and manifested in a range of forms of violence directed, in the majority of cases, against women, including murder ('honour killings') and forced marriage.
