We are beginning to see an increase in these types of honor killings. We need to ban honor killings and bring this cause to the federal governments of Canada, the U.S. and U.K. to make 'Honor Killings/Abuse' a part of their criminal code, and provide a safe outlet for women to get psychological/emotional support and financial assistance to rebuild their lives.
