TOWARDS ENDING 'HONOUR' CRIMES AND KILLINGS: A CALL FOR COMPREHENSIVE HUMANITY

Аннотация

This paper addresses the urgent need to end "honour" crimes and killings, which represent a grave violation of human rights and dignity. It underscores the importance of implementing a comprehensive mechanism to combat this pervasive form of violence. Through a critical analysis of the socio-cultural, legal, and institutional factors perpetuating "honour" crimes, the paper advocates for a holistic approach that integrates legal reforms, community engagement, and awareness-raising initiatives. By prioritizing the protection of victims and survivors, promoting gender equality, and challenging harmful social norms, societies can work towards eradicating "honour" crimes and creating a safer and more just world for all.
