Palestinian students’ attitudes toward honor killing crimes: a quantitative, cross-sectional study

The study highlights the persistence of honor-based justifications for violence among segments of the younger generation, emphasizing the need for psychological and educational interventions. Addressing cognitive biases, reshaping social norms, and implementing policies that challenge gender-based violence are critical for fostering attitudinal change. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on honor crimes and gender equality in Palestinian society, offering insights for future research and policy development.
