| More reports of honour-related violence in Rotterdam | |
| 2007-08-08 | |
| The number of reports of honour-related violence in the Rotterdam region increased in the first half of this year. The regional health authorities (GGD) in Rotterdam-Rijmond say they have received more than 70 reports since January, compared to only 30 for the whole of 2006. The project leader on honour-related violence at the GGD announced these numbers on Monday. All reports proved to be serious threats of honour-related violence. The fact that more of this crime is now being reported is thanks to a pilot project introduced by the Rotterdam municipality, the project leader said. Since 1 January the municipality, GGD, police and emergency services have been working closely to chart out and tackle the situation of honour-related violence. The close cooperation is already yielding results, the project leader said. "This is just the tip of the iceberg," she said.

| #2 1. Aknowledge the problem 2. Scope the problem, with acurate decription and relevant relationhips. "Your Honor, my violence is entirely unrelated to you." or something as inane is what Rotterdamers have there at the moment. |
