In the news: Husseini talks ‘honor killing’ during Wednesday event

Award-winning journalist and human rights activist Rana Husseini discussed her ongoing investigation of so-called honor killings during an on-campus forum Wednesday (April 4), part of the UW-Green Bay/St. Norbert College International Visiting Scholars program. Husseini, author of Murder in the Name of Honour, is widely credited with shedding light on the practice, in which women are killed because of the perception that they’ve damaged the reputation of their families. The Green Bay Press-Gazette covered the address with a story on page A-3 of Thursday’s (April 5) newspaper. Husseini will be back on campus next week for a variety of smaller class gatherings, and will appear at the Fox Cities Book Festival Friday, April 13.
