Honour killings in Pakistan (update)

I am looking into updating the page "Honour killings in Pakistan."

Honor killings in Pakistan has been one of my research areas in graduate school and am hoping to update and enhance the current page for “honour killings in Pakistan.” The page is decently well developed and seems to have solid references, but it is not updated based on changes that have happened in Pakistan over the last year. I plan on editing this page to update information.

Possible resources to use in updating:

• “A Bill.” National Assembly of Pakistan. n.d. Available at http://www.na.gov.pk/uploads/documents/1475762285_283.pdf.

Honour killings in Afghanistan (new page)

I am interested in creating a new page for honor killings in Afghanistan because it does not currently exist on Wikipedia and I am passionate about the topic. There is limited information on the parent page “honor killing.” I plan on creating its own page under the parent page.

I acknowledge references 4-10 of this topic are all news sources that aren’t the most renown. I had a difficult time finding scholarly resources on this or accessing their specific laws.
