On

Hosby Library in Stockholm organised a
seminar for Rega Rauf OWFI activist and
a prominent women’s rights veteran from
Iraqi Kurdistan about the so called
honour killings. In this seminar her
book was also introduced in which she
wrote about the killings of women in
Kurdistan, titled (A voice from
Kurdistan).
There were a large number of people who attended this seminar and the reasons, causes and solutions for honour killings were discussed. At the end Rega spoke about the role of the Swedish government in relation to this matter and that they should offer more support and protection to women who are facing threats of honour killings.
This seminar took two hours and concluded successfully.
