Global law and human rights play a crucial role in addressing the complex issue of honor killings, which violate fundamental principles of dignity and equality. As a presentation of entrenched patriarchal norms, honor killings challenge human rights frameworks established by global laws and practices. The intersection of global law and local customs presents significant challenges, as cultural practices are often utilized to justify these acts. Recognition of the need for legal reform and advocacy is necessary to better understand the systemic issues at play and work toward effective solutions that protect vulnerable individuals and promote social change. Global Law, Human Rights, and Intersections With Honor Killing explores the effects of global law and human rights advocacy on the issue of honor killing. Various laws and social movements against the practice of honor killing are examined, as well as the impact of new policies on honor killing mitigation and violence prevention. This book covers topics such as immigration, multiculturalism, and patriarchy, and is a useful resource for policymakers, government officials, civil rights organizations, psychologists, media professionals, gender scientists, academicians, and researchers.
