Iran's Debate Over So-Called 'Honour' Killings Restarts With Another Killing

DW reports that the murder of a young mother has once again sparked debate in Iran over so-called honour killings, along with the social acceptance of violence against women and the lack of protection for people vulnerable to gender-based violence. The 'once again' is the substance: a killing that reopens an argument about how much violence against women is tolerated, and about who is left exposed to it. Naming social acceptance and missing protection pushes the question past any single perpetrator.
