Abstract
This paper is a comparative analysis of English language media reports of honour-based violence (HBV) in Pakistan, India, and Canada. Key findings include: - male victims of HBV were present in both Pakistani (40%) and Indian (32%) media reports, but notably absent from Canadian reports; and - perpetrators in both Pakistani (100%) and and Indian (82%) reports matched the majority religious affiliation of the country, but not in Canadian reports. I conclude that the data gathering and reporting methods in Canada systematically exclude both male victims and perpetrators with majority religious affiliations.
