“It's the price I have to pay for my freedom” : A qualitative study on women's experiences of honor-related violence (English)
Abstract [en]

This study explores women´s narratives of honour-based violence through a feminist and intersectional lens. Using narrative analysis, the empirical material consits of personal accounts from the swedish documentary series En våldsam heder, depicting experiences of forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and honour killing. The findings reveal recurring themes of social control, restricted agency, and internalised norms related to honour and shame. These structures are shown to be collectively enforced and rooted in patriarchal power relations, further intensified in migration contexts. The study also highlights how the women demonstrate resistance and negotiate their agency despite severe limitations. By centering the voices of women exposed to honour-based violence, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how gendered power and cultural norms shape their lived realities and possibilities for freedom.
