The barbaric practice of honour killing
The recent murder of Qandeel Baloch, a Pakistani social-media star, by her own brother is another example of the shameful practice of killing women in the name of 'honour'. Every year almost 500 women are killed in the handsz of their relatives in Pakistan in the name of 'honour killing'. The killers often manage to escape punishment because of their influences in society. Human rights organisations around the world have been vocal about this social malpractice but to little avail. The disgraceful practice of honour killing should be banned and the perpetrators punished according to law.
