TY - GEN AB - Every year, thousands of girls and women die, often at the hands of blood relatives. These victims are accused of committing honour violations that bring shame upon their family - such transgressions range from walking with a boy in their neighbourhood to seeking to marry a man of their own choosing to being a victim of rape. 'Women in the Crossfire' presents a thorough examination of honour killing, an age-old social practice through which women are trapped and subjected to terror and deadly violence as consequences of the evolution of dysfunctional patriarchal structures and competition among men for domination.
