Reports in the U.K. are that there are 17,000 so-called "honour killings" in the country every year, and that this figure is very likely a gross underestimate: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/a-question-of-honour-police-say-17000-women-are-victims-every-year-780522.html.
Let's not get smug about it here, either. We have the case of those two teenage girls from Texas who were (allegedly) killed by their father for becoming too westernized. A rhetorical question: If you don't want your family to become westernized, why move here?
And, I'll keep asking this question until I get an answer, preferably from someone who either supports or is a member of the group: Where is NOW on issues like this?
