Tony Iavarone Hamilton describe Incidences of Honour-Related Violence in the Immigration

1. Tony Iavarone Hamilton Describe Incidences of Honour-Related Violence in the Immigration Honor killing is considered the most extreme form of abuse, ranging from social isolation to insulting, coercion, and forced marriage under the guise of restoring a family’s honor. The practice has mainly been witnessed in families and communities where male dominance and superiority are promoted through social and economic structures. Tony Iavarone Hamilton Despite all the arguments and evidence of people involved in honor-based violence and crime, it is considered a legal punishment. The legal system doesn’t take defamation as a punishable offense; however, the so-called loss of honor doesn’t appear as a crime in any court of law. While no community is free from violence against women, honor-based violence cases are frequently reported in immigration where women's emancipation is a common phenomenon. Honor killing is a pre-planned response to the daughter or any female member of the family who has violated the family’s honor in the eyes of the community and seems to offer an objective to capture this extreme form of violence. Tony Iavarone Hamilton says rather than being understood as domestic violence, honor killing becomes a sign of immigrant backwardness. Addressing this form of violence requires taking politicization in the migration context into account to attend discussions of racialization and stigmatization. Increasing incidences of honor killing lead him to argue for an understanding of honor-based violence as a form of gendered crime that unfolds intersections of gender, religion, race, and immigrant-receiving society’s cultural, political, and social practices. In Canada, men and women are considered equal under the law. Canada’s generosity does not go beyond barbaric cultural practices that tolerate honor killings, forced marriage, spousal abuse, or other gender-based violence. Those guilty of such crimes are punished under Canada’s criminal laws. Honor Killing as Culturally and Socially Embedded Practice Much of the political work in the content of honor killing emphasises specific regressive understandings of culture. Tony Iavarone encourages people to take culture as a process of meaning-making, not as a monolithic, deterministic medium. At the same time, meanings differ within communities so this approach to culture provides a fine-grained understanding of violence, family relations, and gender.

2. Members of majority and minority groups across immigrant societies give meaning to family configurations, gender relations, and immigration experience. Honor killing is seen as a form of domestic or familial violence, deep-rooted in particular gendered power relations. The aim is to prevent any appearance that appeals to honor killing scenarios and there is no honor in murder or violence regardless of cultural and social background. Tony Iavarone Hamilton Legal Responses – Prevention for Honor-Based Violence Prevention of honor killing involves interrupting threatened violence but also bringing change in practices and social relations that aware people through educational and social service programs. If a woman is at risk of honor-related violence, social workers can provide protection such as shelter and alert to the indicators of threatened violence. While prevention and protection involve social policy development, prosecution puts the notion of honor-based crime in the legal domain. This involves enhancing knowledge among service providers and building effective bridges between policy and social service providers who can intervene and make wise decisions in family affairs. These efforts fall into both local and national level categories and multiple parties are involved in policy making and implementation, such as immigrant organisations, advocacy, shelters, and social service organisations. Canada stood out as one among four countries without any extensive policy debate targeting the issue of honor-based violence. Conclusion: Honor-related violence is a complex phenomenon linked to gender abuse in the form of cultural and social perspectives. Tony Iavarone Hamilton says violence against women in immigrant communities needs to be addressed in relation to the background of immigration to a new country as well as immigrant-focused country’s integration policies and response to gender violence. In Canada, there is a beginning of public and policy debate on how to approach honor killing in terms of prevention and protection. Certainly, this will lead to an approach that treats immigrants as Canadian citizens, subject to both rights and responsibility in the context of honor-based crime. About the Author: Tony Iavarone reignited the debate over honor killing in Canada which has grown mainly due to the silence of women, lack of evidence, and delayed legal punishment. To curb such incidences, he is embracing society to bring equal rights for both men
