Ep17: Honor Violence ~ Palestina Isa, Hatice Peltek, Aqsa Parvez, Monika Rani, Amina & Sarah Said, San-deela Kanwal, Aasiya Hassan, Noor Almaleki
“Honor violence has been largely misclassified by law enforcement, by no fault of their own. They simply didn’t know the signs and symptoms of honor-related violence. They do not have the training on how to effectively identify and investigate these cases.” ~ Stephanie Baric, executive director of the AHA Foundation
HONOR KILLING/VIOLENCE:
An estimated 23-27 honor killings per year occur in the U.S., noted that 91 percent of victims in North America are murdered for being “too Westernized,” and in incidents involving daughters 18 years or younger, a father is almost always involved. This is a particular type of violence that doesn’t fit neatly into the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics. These are their stories.....
