Abstract

This new research categorises the real-life circumstances of victim survivors of HBA at the hands of multiple perpetrators. The research will identify that honour abuse affects women from a range of cultural backgrounds and does not happen in isolation within specific communities. It is different from domestic abuse as the intersectionality of factors: gender, ethnicity, cultural background, social status, socio-cultural and ancestral traditions contribute to why HBA occurs, trap victims in abusive situations which makes it so difficult to police and to escape from.
