Violence against women takes dismaying forms and verities around the world, but the worst form that snatches away the lives of thousands of women each year is Honor Killing. From Centuries women have been facing death in the name of so-called honor, they have been burned, axed to death, beaten to death, shot at and killed by many other ways, just for the restoration of the family honor.
Honor Killing is a cultural reality in Pakistan, According to UN about more then one thousand women are killed in Pakistan each year in the name of honor. These are the cases that are reported but thousands go unregistered and unnoticed. Women are killed in the name of a crime that isn’t stated by any religion, tradition or law, but is a way to let the male-domination exist in society.
