"I am Farinaz" campagin
·
There is no justification for
killing Farinaz Khosravani. It is not solely a crime for killing a woman, it is
an insult to a community. I hope that the public will understand that any kind
of violence against women or crime in the name of “honor” cannot remain solely
an issue for the families involved; it is a concern of the entire society. I am
urging women’s and human rights organizations to stand up against systematic
violence against women.
