Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated in the West Bank on Wednesday to demand legal protection for women after a 21-year-old woman died last month in what rights groups say was a so-called honour killing. A Palestinian Authority investigation is underway into the death of Isra’a Ghrayeb, a make-up artist who activists say was beaten by male relatives after a video posted on Instagram allegedly showed a meeting between her and a man who had proposed to her. At least 18 Palestinian women have been killed this year by family members angered at perceived damage to their honour, which may involve fraternising with men or any infringement of conservative values regarding women, according to the General Union of Palestinian Women and Feminist Institutions.
