Honor Killing: Crimes Against Women

Location: Freedom House. 1319 18th Street (Ballroom)Washington, DC. USA.
Discussion with Rana Husseini, Jordanian Human Rights Activist and Journalist
Internationally recognized, award winning journalist and human rights defender Rana Husseini broke the
silence by exposing the phenomenon of honor killings. Ms. Husseini is writing a book on the topic,
hoping it will provide people with a credible source based on real-life experience to tackle a sensitive
issue often susceptible to misconception. The book is entitled "Murder in the Name of Honour" and is
expected to be published in the next few months.
