"Honour" related violence

Violence related to “honour” is not tied to a certain country, ethnic group or religion; instead, it occurs across global communities, particularly in patriarchal cultures. Different cultures and communities also define the concept of “honour” in various ways. It depends on aspects such as ethnic backgrounds, gender, status and wealth. Key factors underlying the phenomenon include a strong sense of shame and a fear of losing one’s honour rather than honour itself.
