Women Challenge "Honor" Killings in Jordan

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

The Jordanian Women's Union, a Global Fund grantee, is working to draw attention to the issue of honor killings—assaults committed against women by male family members in response to alleged sexual misconduct. Since 1945, the Jordanian Women's Union has been empowering and educating women; it now runs a hotline and shelter for survivors of violence.
