Honour killings
October 06, 2023
According to Human Rights Watch, around 1000 women are murdered in the name of honour every year in Pakistan. These murders are often perpetrated by a male member of the family. In 2016, the Pakistani parliament passed the landmark anti-honour killing laws that mandate a life sentence of twelve-and-a-half-years for culprits.
Sadly, enforcing these laws continues to be a challenge for the authorities. It is high time that we put an end to such unlawful acts of gender violence and let women live the life they want.
