Rana Interviewed on Red Alert

Rana on the Radio (flashplayer required) Murder in the Name of Honour is Rana Husseini’s hard-hitting and controversial examination of honour crimes. Common in many traditional societies around the world, as well as in migrant communities in Europe and the USA, they involve a ‘punishment’—often death or disfigurement—carried out by a relative to restore the family’s honour.

Breaking through the conspiracy of silence surrounding this crime, one writer above all others has been instrumental in bringing it to the world’s attention: Rana Husseini.

Journalist, feminist, and human rights defender, Jordanian RANA HUSSEINI is one of the world's most influential investigative journalists, whose reporting has put violence against women on the public agenda around the world. The recipient of numerous awards for bravery in journalism, she is a regular speaker at major international events and has been interviewed on almost every major international broadcaster, from CNN to the BCC.

"Rana is utterly inspiring. She is a young woman of courage, committed to the principles of truth and justice … If enough people read this book, maybe the next time a young woman is being stoned to death for having fallen in love, someone will intervene to save her life." Jane Fonda, actress, writer, and political activist

"Rana Husseini has almost single-handedly brought this crime to public attention through her newspaper articles and campaigns, and her achievements in journalism and human rights have been internationally recognized. She does not just pontificate from behind her desk – Ms. Husseini has investigated the crime scenes, visited the prisons, and talked to both victims and perpetrators, and has produced a brilliantly researched and passionate attack on honour killings around the world. A powerful, heartfelt and important book." Queen Noor of Jordan, International humanitarian activist
