In this episode we talk to Hasret a phd candidate at the Irish Centre for Human Rights. Her work focusses on the everyday role that honour or Namus plays in the lives of Kurdish women.  We mainly know of "honour" through "honour-killing", which is an extreme manifestation of "honour". I am focusing upon the everyday non-violent "honour" and what it means for people that live with it. In human rights discourse "honour" is known only as a harmful practice and as such being a site of gender oppression. I argue, leaning on Saba Mahmood and Judith Butler, that the subject of "honour" has to be rethought and seen through a different lens than that of the liberal-secular subject as found in human rights. Essentially then, the topic becomes one of understanding what "honour" achieves in the making of subjects, or the self, and how Kurdish women reason about, and live with and through the social authority of namus.
