WST 3015 Final Exam; Questions and Answers
100% Correct
What are honor killings and under what circumstances do they occur? Correct answer-
Honor killings are typically seen in societies where women are often devalued and seen as
property.



Honor killings occur when a woman's actions are thought to bring shame to male relatives.




Honor can only be restored by killing the woman. E.g. woman refused an arranged marriage,
married outside religion or caste, accused of adultery, or she was sexually assaulted or raped.



Honor killings are sometimes even CONDONED by law enforcement, or if not completely
condoned, will provide lighter sentences to many




Are honor killings a result of religion? Correct answer-Honor killings are part of a culture,
NOT a religion.



Honor killings may not be part of religious teachings but may be a REACTION to violating norms
the religion may enforce.




Why Palestinian feminists insist on using the term "femicide" instead of "honor crime"
Correct answer-For over ten years, Palestinian feminists have insisted on using the term
of "femicide," and not "honor crimes" since it DISMISSES the gravity of killing Palestinian
women but also leads to the "backwards cultural-other" phenomenon.

100% Correct
What do we know about communities with military bases and violence against women?
Correct answer-Communities with military bases or militarized communities have HIGH
rates of violence against women.



Local and foreign militaries commit violence against female civilians in LARGE numbers.




U.S. military personnel in South Korea commit at least TWO criminal acts every single day
against local population, mainly women and children in military camptowns surrounding the
base.




What does it mean that rape is used as a weapon of war? Correct answer-Many scholars
say that war and rape have become synonymous.



Rape becomes a PLANNED weapon to use and troops are ORDERED to use rape as a weapon.



In countries of war, mass rape can be used as a tool of war.



Honor rapes SHAME victims or their tribes but also puts them in a double bInd. If they tell their
families or seek treatment at a hospital or tell police, they can be thrown in jail, ostracized or
killed for having sex outside of marriage.



Women are killed, isolated/abandoned, or arrested which tears their own villages apart.
