•Honour killing is known locally as karo-
kari (Urdu: ‫ کاروکاری‬.]2[)Pakistan has the highest volume of documented and
estimated honour killings per capita of any country in the world; about one-
fifth of the world's honour killings are performed in Pakistan (1000 out of the
5000 total). An honour killing is the homicide of a member of a family or
social group by other members, due to the belief the victim has
brought dishonor upon the family or community. The death of the victim is
viewed as a way to restore the reputation and honour of the family.
It is likely that honour killing has been a practice in Pakistan for thousands of
years, and, despite recent legal reforms, it remains a common practice in
Pakistan today. Both international and Pakistani activists and activist groups
are pushing for an end to the practice, although some say that change will
not truly happen unless the general public chooses to condemn the practice.
• Honour killing is an act of murder, in which a person is killed for his or her actual or
perceived immoral behavior. Such "immoral behavior" may take the form of
alleged marital infidelity, refusal to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a
divorce, perceived flirtatious behaviour and being raped. Suspicion and
accusations alone are many times enough to defile a family's honour and therefore
enough to warrant the killing of the woman.
• In patriarchal cultures, women's lives are structured through a strict maintenance
of an honour code. In order to preserve woman's chastity, women must abide by
socially restrictive cultural practices pertaining to women's status and family izzat,
or honour, such as the practice of purdah, the segregation of sexes. Honour killings
are frequently more complex than the stated excuses of the perpetrators. More
often than not, the murder relates to inheritance problems, feud-settling, or to get
rid of the wife, for instance in order to remarry. Human rights agencies in Pakistan
have repeatedly emphasized that victims were often women wanting to marry of
their own will. In such cases, the victims held properties that the male members of
their families did not wish to lose if the woman chose to marry outside the family.
• A 1999 Amnesty International report drew specific attention to "the failure of the
authorities to prevent these killings by investigating and punishing the
perpetrators. According to women's rights advocates, the concepts of women as
property and honour are so deeply entrenched in the social, political and
economic fabric of Pakistan that the government, for the most part, ignores the
daily occurrences of women being killed and maimed by their families. The fact
that much of Pakistan's Tribal Areas are semi-autonomous and governed by often
fundamentalist leaders makes federal enforcement difficult when attempted
 Sexual Crime in pakistan
Pakistan is among those countries where 70% women and girls experience physical or
sexual violence in their lifetime by their intimate partners and 93% women experience
some form of sexual violence in public places in their lifetime. Only 10% cases of
violence are being reported in Sindh and Punjab in media with even less reporting from
Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
7,561 cases were reported from Sindh and the least number of cases, 306, were reported
from Balochistan. Unrest, targeted killing of the legal fraternity, weak law enforcement,
absence of rule of law and overall social, cultural and religious barriers stop people in
Pakistan, especially women and girls, to come forward and report violence perpetrated
against them.
Reported in 2016: 118 cases of child marriage, 162 of cybercrime, 14 of child abuse,
2,092 of domestic violence, 14 of forced marriage, 562 of harassment, 12 of karo-kari,
2,251 of missing children, 213 of missing women, 792 of mental torture, 5 of rape, 6 of
sodomy, 10 of sexual harassment, 7 of sexual abuse and 5 cases of trafficking.
Most of the violent crimes committed against women are strictly prohibited by laws in
Pakistan such as child marriage, sexual violence, domestic violence, karo-kari,
kidnapping and harassment, laws are however, not being implemented and there is a
lack of awareness on addressing the complaints through a proper channel.
