IKWRO Annual Conference on "honour killings"

There are at least twelve murders in the name of 'honour' every year in Britain!

IKWRO are holding a conference on "honour" killings on the 1st December 2006 at the Amnesty International Human Rights Action Centre. The conference will be a place for learning from different experiences, with case studies, discussion and networking. It's only £10 to attend, just email them to book.

The underlying purpose of “honour crimes” is to maintain men’s power in families and communities by denying women basic—and internationally recognized—rights to make autonomous decisions about issues such as marriage, divorce, and whether and with whom to have sex, in order to control female sexuality and reproductive function.
