Introduction: ‘Honour’ and ‘Honour’-Based Violence: Challenging Common Assumptions

Abstract

In recent years, violence against women (VAW) committed in the name of ‘honour’ has attracted increasing attention across the globe. Unfortunately, media accounts and policy discourses concerning honour-based violence (HBV) and so-called honour killings have principally viewed the problem through the lens of cultural essentialism. This volume argues that the problem should instead be approached from a multidisciplinary perspective, attentive to the intersection of a range of causal factors and inclusive of a wide range of both proven and promising interventions. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
