Mark June 2, Launch of Rana H’s “Murder in the Name of Honour”

From Rana Husseini:

“The book is an accumulation of cases I covered in Jordan as well as a documentation of the efforts and events that took place in the long process of combating this murder. The book is also a documentation of worldwide cases and efforts that were exerted by many countries, organizations and individuals to end this practice mostly targeted against women and their right to life.

Furthermore, the book includes a section on the social and medical aspects of this murder, it concludes with recommendations as to what can be done to end these crimes worldwide.

My hope is that this book will be another tool for raising awareness as well as a reference for human rights advocates locally and internationally. It is also a source for anyone interested in learning more about this issue from a credible and objective source.

The book is available on Amazon.com and other websites for pre-order.  For more information, please see attached files for the book release in the UK and the USA.

There will be a major launching event in Jordan at Readers Bookshop located in the second floor at Cozmo Shopping Centre on June 2.  There will also be signing events and other activities related to the book at other venues and NGOs, including the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW), the University Bookshop and Books@Cafe, during the month of June.

Please do not hesitate to forward this email to those you know who might be interested in this topic. I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Thank you all for your continuous belief in this project and generous support.
