International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8th globally, with various organizations and media highlighting women's achievements. However, the article emphasizes that mere celebrations are insufficient if they do not lead to meaningful action against serious issues like honor killings, which persist in many societies. Honor killings involve the murder of women by family members to restore perceived family honor, often based on actions deemed shameful, whether within or outside the woman's control. The article calls for societal recognition of such violence as a crime, the inclusion of human rights education in schools, and greater public awareness to combat these practices. It points out that the issue is often hidden behind the guise of family matters and stresses the complicity of both men and women in such acts, urging a collective responsibility to address this social evil.
