Rana Husseini
Internationally recognized and award winning journalist and human rights defender Rana Husseini broke the silence by exposing the phenomenon of so-called crimes of honour in Jordan.
Not only did she shed light on such violation of the basic human right, the right of life, but she also and still is a voice of every life taken in the name of "honour".
Husseini's coverage of and dedication to ending this unjustified practice against women helped raise national awareness and a public outcry on a topic that is traditionally considered taboo.
Husseini has just finished writing a book on the topic hoping that it will provide people with a credible source based on real-life experience tackling a sensitive issue which is often susceptable to misconception.
The book, entitled "Murder in the name of honour" has been published in English in both the UK and the US.It is also expected to be published in Arabic in September 2009. For more information on the book and release dates, click on the links below:
