Females, like males, commit honor killings because the victim is perceived as too “Western” and “disobedient” or she has been accused of “sexual impropriety,” a new study found.
The study, titled “When Women Commit Honor Killings,” was conducted by best-selling author, lecturer, columnist and retired psychotherapist Dr. Phyllis Chesler.
It examines female-on-female violence related to honor killings, which Dr. Chesler argues “has been minimized because male-on-female violence is far more visible, dramatic, and epidemic.”
