Conference against Honour Killings and Launch of new Helpline

Dua Aswad was 17 years old and died for no reason other than so called 'honour', at the hands of men, including her male family members. She was killed because she dared to fall in love, and because she COULD be killed, in a village that denied her any human right. Even in death she was faced with degradation and the chorus of baying men after blood and continued power to oppress and kill, strike out and destroy, anything that resembled defiance and a stand against the denial of human rights.

'Those that defy can die' is the inherent chant, aligned with, 'those that question our (male) rule will be held accountable with every drop of their blood.



The conference run by IKWRO Iranian Kurdistan Women's Rights Organisation in London on 14th May will bring together people to face the atrocity that is honour killing and honour crimes, launch a helpline and hopes to help prevent this continued degradation of girls, women, communities and humanity and their rights
