Description

Got bored. This was the end result.

Subjective idea: what inspired me to create this was a book I've been obsessing about called "Murder In The Name of Honour" by Ranna Husseini. It describes a horrific and uphill battle against so-called honour killings, and how backwards many countries are in terms of women's rights, dividing religion from culture, and lack of care for the voiceless.

Women in certain regions- from Jordan to India- are looked down upon, and their virginity ultimately defies them as either an "honourable object" or "deflowered scum". Even being gang-raped or molested by their father is seen solely as the woman's fault, and she's often punished by being stoned to death or assassinated.

Little work has been done to raise awareness and make change. Many problems in the world need to be resolved- this is one of them.
