I stumbled upon this blog while checking my referrals. Glad I did.
Over 5000 women and girls are killed
every year by family members in so-called 'honour killings', according
to the UN. These crimes occur where cultures believe that a woman's
unsanctioned sexual behaviour brings such shame on the family that any
female accused or suspected must be murdered. Reasons for these murders
can be as trivial as talking to a man, or as innocent as suffering rape.
