Honour related violence is an international issue. The problem is that it is inbuilt in the community's foundation which is grounded on religious and moral values and even in the laws and the social structure all over the world. While this violence goes on it is a strong threat against equality. Violence is hostile to women and is racist and homophobic. It is a difficult task to fight it, we need to be many in the network and well distributed on an international level. That is why we have started a politically independent network with committed people such as politicians, researchers, organisations as well as  individuals. The idea is that we together can work as lobbyists so that honour related violence is taken seriously and that the community does its utmost to combat this.
