  4. Community pressures You can either destroy your honour or your sister. If you don’t choose the latter you can’t walk amongst those around you as a man.” “ ‘Honour Killings’: Stories of men who killed, AyseOnal, 2008, al-Saqi Books, London

  5. Attributions of cultureHBV presented as cultural and often associated with Muslims Right wing capitalisation upon HBV: website link is ‘how to leave Islam’ Describing a domestic murder as HBV without any evidence of HBV’s distinctive structure.

Pew report data (2013): Proportion of Muslim respondents who said the ‘honour’ killing of a woman was ‘often’ or ‘sometimes’ necessary Pew Research Center. 2013. The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society. Washington DC: The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. P 190.

  12. Service impacts • Quick identification – due to lethality and fewer points of intervention; • Immediate intervention; • Liaison and referral with specialist NGOs, community safety, child protection, forced marriage unit as appropriate; • Extreme caution around confidentiality • Capacity gauging and development of protection plans, up to and including change of identity and dispersal to safe areas; • Emotional aftercare.

  13. Summary • Honour crimes are committed by the victim’s own family, often acting in collaboration, in order to restore their reputation in the community. • They have distinctive perpetration patterns and victim profiles. • They are very high risk and escalate very quickly. • Family solidarities make them very complex to address.
