Honour-based crime up 62%

Every year about 110 women are killed by men.
Only 8% are killed by a stranger.
6.5% of the population is Muslim.
About 13% of murdered women fall under the honour killing label.

It is a form of domestic violence.
If we keep working on open communication and reporting that number will normalise. It wasn't that long ago that the white on white figures were similar.

we need to stop using that term. It isn't about "honour" it is mostly about controlling and abusing women.

The reality is actually quite sad because many of the men who come over are from backgrounds where they can't afford to support a wife in their home country, but can afford to escape and drop it all for a chance at something different here. However, no women in the UK or other developed countries are interested because they all have something called rights. So they live pretty miserable lives tbh. It's not easy or maybe not even possible to reform someone's mind once they've been brought up with much more brutal and sickening attitudes towards women.

Developed country imports third world men and is shocked when they behave in a third world manner. [shocked pikachu face]

I think this is a really good point.

The behaviour of these individuals is considered reprehensible in their own country, but people/ police/ authorities just lump ‘foreigners’ into one pile and think ‘that’s how they do things’

i have relatives who come from a country where men can legally have four wives, but none of my relatives do and it’s massively looked down on. It’s something ‘backward yokels’ do. One distant relative attempted it ( because he was too lazy to get divorced) and his female relatives in particular hit the roof! He was basically bullied into getting a divorce.

It’s like comparing all white people to those who turn up to a Tommy Robinson ( Yaxley-Lennon) March

I'd call it Cultural Misogyny

I imagine because the UK borders are seemingly open to all, the crime statistics must also rise.

Agreed, add to that FGM. Ask why is it that UK born girls are still being cut. The answer is that the communities they belong to know that the penalties for mutilating their daughters are minimal. And often the FGM is taking place in the UK, it is no longer always the case that girls are taken abroad for special holidays to be cut.

Yes. See the factsheet from the WHO

Femicide - murder of women/girls because they are women/girls. I feel it’s male on female crimes.

‘Honour’ because they are believed to have transgressed in some way, causing disgrace to the family, therefore as ‘your belonging’ you feel you have the right to murder them (can be male or female victims or murderers). Although how can there be any honour in murdering your child, I’ll never know.

I have family in a part of the world not exactly known for its enlightened (or even humane) treatment of women and girls.

However whenever I see ‘man originally from XX country murders daughter for wearing makeup /having boyfriend/breathing…’ I can bet my boots the man will most likely come from/originate from a certain community/area. Even in that country the reputation of this community that of ‘backward yokels’ (for want of a better description).

I assume that most child murder in the U.K. by ‘natives’ are in nature covering sexual/physical abuse or plain old evil ‘punishments’ (or of course family jealousy). Occasionally religious beatings/punishments.

Police are scared to touch this sort of crime because people claim its cultural.

I prefer the term femicide.

There are sub divisions of most acts of abuse and explained earlier....so child abuse included neglect, emotional, physical, sexual, domestic violence, faith based etc...you need to know it's variations to be alert to it you need to know the individual risk factors. We don't as professionals lump it as abuse because it allows things to be overlooked.
We know there are risk factors for women and girls that make some types of abuse more prevalent nobody is saying that a man of any race or religion cannot kill a woman because he thinks his honour is at stake but that is not honour based killing which is about the beliefs of the wider family unit and social pressures in the same way as there is more risk of fgm in certain cultures but I'm sure some sick men have mutilated women without it being classed as fgm ....if we insist on ignoring things for fear of being racist women will suffer.....in honour based abuse as with fgm women are part of the problem.

You're missing the point completely, the point isn't that Asian men commit more crimes than white men. There are many more white men in this country and many more crimes by white men. Nowhere has anyone said that Asian men are more likely to be abusers, you are making that up completely.

The point made is that the police are more likely to look the other way when culturally sensitive crimes occur for fear of being accused of being racist. This puts women and girls especially those from other cultures at more risk because the police are less inclined to get involved as evidenced by what happened in Rochdale/Rotherham etc.

Of course there is no honour in it that's not what it's saying....the excuse used in these acts is the protection of a families honour hence the name.
