(Ha'aretz) Amira Hass - 25 Palestinian women have been murdered in Gaza and the West Bank this year, with 7 murdered in September, according to figures released by the Women's Center for Legal Aid and Counseling, an independent Palestinian NGO in Jerusalem. When a woman is murdered, people immediately ask "what did she do," said an activist with the center. "They don't ask that when a man is murdered." The center refuses to use the term "honor killing." Attorney Latifa Swekhell and Nabeel Dweikat of the center say the murderer, or whoever is behind the murder, often uses the term to cover up the real motive. These murders stem from women's inequality in a patriarchal society, where they are seen as the man and family's property. A report published by the center, Women Without Names, details 29 murders and nine "suicides" the center investigated during 2007-2010. 17 of the victims were murdered by their father, brother or husband. Six others were murdered by another relative. 2013-10-04 00:00:00Full Article
