Honour killings, also known as shame killings, occur when someone kills a person-a stranger or a family member- in an effort to preserve their own or their family’s honour and dignity after believing the victim has damaged their reputation. For ages, women have been the victim of patriarchy and misogyny and this hasn’t changed even in the 21st century despite all the awareness being spread. Honour killings are the most heinous of crimes against women and it is not of nascent origin. Its origin is in the desert tribes where the elder males were responsible for protecting the honour of the family by keeping the female members in check. From time to time, we hear about incidents of honour killings from different parts of the world. These incidents are not confined to a certain geographical area; they can happen anywhere. Violence against women in every form is condoned by everyone which has led to the formulation of certain laws which aim at protecting vulnerable women against violence at home, public places and workplaces. Even international organizations have taken the initiative to formulate such laws. Everyone must band together to defeat this evil and completely remove it.
