Honour-based abuse: Government rejects calls for legal definition
By Ashitha NageshCommunity affairs correspondent
The government has rejected calls for a legal definition of honour-based Abuse .
The Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) recommended the definition in its report into honour-based Abuse In July .
On Friday, the government responded by saying it already has a working definition used by the Home Office and The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
" It is not clear that making the definition statutory would improve understanding of, or the response to, these crimes, " it added.
Honour-based Abuse is perpetrated by people who claim to be upholding the so-called honour of A Family or community.
It can include Forced Marriage , Coercive Control , and even murder.
The decision has sparked backlash from MPs, specialist charities, and the Domestic Abuse commissioner.
Caroline Nokes , chairwoman of the WEC, said she was " disappointed" with the government's response.
The WEC's report In July had warned that there was a widespread ignorance of this type of Abuse among front-line workers across public services, including in The Police , social care and education.
" A statutory definition would help police officers and other front-line agencies recognise and record incidents of honour-based Abuse accurately and consistently, " said Ms Nokes.
" This matters, a lack of data makes it difficult to identify where honour-based Abuse occurs, in what forms, and importantly who is most At Risk . "
Natasha Rattu, director of specialist charity Karma Nirvana, agreed, telling Bbc News : " There's a real opportunity through a statutory definition to have that strength in recognising exactly what this [type of Abuse ] is.
" Many victims, we feel as a consequence [of this decision], will continue to be missed by professionals that should have a duty in law to protect and safeguard them. "
The government's non-statutory definition of honour-based Abuse is that it is " an incident or crime involving violence, threats of violence, intimidation, coercion or Abuse . . which has or may have been committed to protect or defend the honour of an individual, family and/or community for alleged or perceived breaches of The Family and/or community's code of behaviour".
Ms Rattu said that this type of Abuse does not always involve " an incident or crime" but is " a pattern, it's a course of conduct".
" Our survivors are very clear that the current [non-statutory] definition doesn't represent their lived experiences, " she added.
Nicole Jacobs, the Domestic Abuse commissioner, also said: " I urge the government to reconsider its response to this report.
" I Am disappointed to see the government reject calls for a statutory definition of so-called honour-based Abuse , which would recognise the severity of this crime, raise awareness, and bring more perpetrators to justice. "
