The STOP HONORCIDE! campaign was launched on Mother's Day 2008.

The goal of the campaign is to prosecute honorcides to the fullest extent of the law.

We want honorcide to be classified as a hate crime and we advocate for every existing hate crime legislation to be amended to include honorcide.

If you wish to support STOP HONORCIDE!, please send us an email with your name, title (if applicable) and a short statement of support.

If you would like to lobby your elected official(s) to amend current hate crime legislation to include honorcide, you may use the letter below or you can draft your own letter. If you would like to provide a statement of support, please use this link or email stophonorcide AT reformislam.org

Dear Title Name,

(As your constituent,) I urge you to amend name or number of the statute law to include honorcide. Honorcide is a heinous crime practiced in backwards societies. Honorcide or honor killing is a murder of a female by her male family member(s), when a female is believed to have brought dishonor on her family. This so-called "dishonor" includes, among other things, refusing an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce, dating a non-Muslim, or simply refusing to wear a hijab. It is appalling that in twenty-first century America honorcides are still taking place. But what is even more appalling is that honorcide is deemed to be acceptable by members of some religious and ethnic communities. We must put a stop to it. Any form of gender discrimination, especially honorcide, has no place in any civilized society, but especially not in America.

Please introduce the bill to amend name or number of the statute law to include honorcide.

Sincerely,


Signature
