520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "Over the past decade, the issue of honour-related violence (including honour killing and forced marriage) has entered media and policy debates in immigrant-receiving countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Britain and Canada. In some of these countries, media debate has instigated policy debate. For example, in Germany, the brutal 2005 murder of 23-year-old<br/>Hatun Aynur Sürücü by her brother sparked a political debate on family violence within Muslim immigrant communities, focusing not only on honour killing but also on forced<br/>marriage. In both the Netherlands and Britain, incidences of honour-related violence led to (immigrant) women’s NGO advocacy for prevention, protection as well as prosecution.<br/>Politicians’ receptiveness to these efforts was in part facilitated by media discussions of murders and other incidents, such as the murders in the Netherlands of Kezban Vural by her<br/>husband in 1999, high-school student Zarife by her father in 2003 and Mrs. Gül by her exhusband in 2004; and the murders in Britain of Rukhsana Naz by her mother and brother in<br/>1998, 16-year-old Heshu Yones by her father in 2002 and 20-year-old Banaz Mahmod by her father and uncle in 2007. In Canada, by contrast, discussions of the murders of 17-year-old<br/>Amandeep Atwal in 2003 and 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez in 2007, both by their fathers, did not instigate policy debate.<br/>This paper analyses how media, parliaments and other state institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) conceptualize honour killing and honour-related violence in order to uncover how such conceptualizations inform policy responses. The analysis reveals three main trends:<br/>i. discussions that link honour killing to Islam and/or the backwardness of immigrant communities in ways that lead to the stigmatization of entire immigrant communities;<br/>ii. culture-blind portrayals of honour-related violence as domestic violence or violence against women that do not pay attention to cultural specificities; and<br/>iii. debates that are contextually specific, framing honour-related violence as a contextually informed form of violence against women that occurs within particular immigrant communities but where this violence does not essentialize<br/>the culture and practices of those communities as a whole. The paper shows that these discursive conceptualizations inform different policy approaches to the issue. Korteweg and Yurdakul contend that discussions of honour-related violence that<br/>stigmatize are more likely to lead to general anti-immigrant policies or policies that impede settlement. Debates that frame honour-related violence as a variant of the generally widespread<br/>problem of domestic violence and violence against women are more likely to lead to policies that directly target these forms of violence".
