Violence Is Not Our Culture

We fully reject the notion that violence in any form is part of our "culture", "religion", or "tradition." This page features information on three of these forms: stoning, whipping/lashing, and "honour" killings. This list is by no means exhaustive: women often experience other forms of violence justified by "culture", including but not limited to: forced marriages, female genital mutilation, sexual harrassment, acid attacks, and many others. Violence against women is never acceptable, never justified.
