STOP HONOUR KILLINGS NOW!

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, but many happen simply because a woman wants to lead a western lifestyle.

Some cultures hold the honor of their family above the life of the women within that family, they are killing women and girls in the thousands every year and not only is it not getting better, but it is starting to spread into the west. We need to start treating our mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters with the respect they deserve.

After all if it wasn't for a woman, we wouldn't even be alive.
