| Description: | This report summarizes and evaluates qualitative research about so-called 'honour killings'.

The information is derived from interviews and group discussions conducted in four Turkish cities with relatively high numbers of such murders. The report includes proposals for solutions to the problem and suggestions for action. |

| PAKISTAN Honour killings of girls and women http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ASA33/018/1999/en/dom-ASA330181999en.html Women in Pakistan live in fear. They face death by shooting, burning or killing with axes if they are deemed to have brought shame on the family. They are killed for supposed 'illicit' relationships, for marrying men of their choice, for divorcing abusive husbands. They are even murdered by their kin if they are raped as they are thereby deemed to have brought shame on their family. The truth of the suspicion does not matter -- merely the allegation is enough to bring dishonour on the family and therefore justifies the slaying. Details | Report |
