| Zusammenfassung: | This article critically examines whether deadly honour-related violence should be classified as femicide. Drawing on ten years of data from the Dutch National Police’s Centre of Expertise on Honour-Related Violence (LEC EGG), the authors reveal that over half of the fatal cases involved male victims. This challenges the common perception that honour-related violence primarily targets women and raises questions about the gendered framing of such violence. The authors argue that the current focus on femicide in media and policy may obscure the broader spectrum of honour-related violence, especially non-lethal cases and male victimhood. They emphasize the need for tailored prevention strategies that account for the specific dynamics of honour-based violence, rather than applying models developed for intimate partner violence. The article calls for a more nuanced gender analysis that includes male victims and recognizes the diversity of perpetrators. It also highlights the importance of addressing non-lethal violence, which constitutes the vast majority of cases, as part of a comprehensive prevention strategy. Ultimately, the authors advocate for a broader, more inclusive understanding of gender-related violence in both research and policy. |
