Honor killing is a form of terrorism, perpetrated by family members who are supposed to love and protect women. In traditional societies women are perceived as the property of the patriarch and a reproductive tool. Fathers, brothers, and sometimes mothers kill innocent women who they perceive to have violated cultural codes and social norms. Defiled women must be punished. The family name cleansed with their blood.

Thousands of women are killed every year in the name of honor.
Honor killings are the tip of an iceberg.
Honor based violence is throughout the world.

Aruna Papp has been conducting training workshops for 15 years. Aruna helps frontline service providers to understand honor based violence, identify predictors, and causes in order to prevent this horrible crime.
